I use Maps, on the web... all the time. I love it!

My ancient computer won't run Earth.. :(

i'm using it; it's fun! only too bad that norway isn't so sharp and high res. Hope they'll improve that :)

and yea, i love maps; but i still like paper ones more, since you don't have the borders of the map screen where you have to scroll first to see beyond; i like to see in one sight where i'm going. that's why i don't like these navigation computers in cars as well, cause you can't navigate on the map really; you'd have to zoom out, zoom in, scroll. it's helpful for some people though, like my dad :D

That's pretty cool. Has this always been possible with google maps??

I thought for a sec you managed to get Stina to test it as well... :o :D

Can see my former house (close to Lund, SWeden) quite clearly.

Ok so just wait some hours and you'll see the page online :)

In fact I just added a google map where members can locate their place.
It's nice to see where people live on a map !

Funnily enough, we had broadband installed yesterday, and so my parents were playing with Google Earth. I'd never acutally seen it before and *cough* I don't actually know where you get it from. Anyway, Keynsham and Nantong aren't very clear but Nanjing is.

I haven't used Google Maps before. I tried it once when it was fairly new and couldn't get anything outside of America. Then another time on dialup and it was really slow. I used to use multimap.com way back, and since then it's been something I've never got around to looking at. Anyway, I'm playing with the Google one now and it looks pretty cool so thanks for mentioning that! Just search for Nunney Close Keynsham and you'll get my parents' street (where I'll be for a few more days this year). You can see the playing fields that my bedroom overlooks.

First : it's a beta software so it may not work all the time.
The subSilver skin works fine with it, I modified the black one so I hope now it will work fine too.

So how to use it ?
-Go to http://friends59.free.fr/stinaboard/gp.php
-Locate your city using the left items
-once you found your place click Edit in the Mode section (upper right)
-put you name = nickname
-click on the street at the left and if you did it wrong click on the right street
-Edit the InfoWindow : put some text there if you wish
-Click Add

That's all !

Okey doke!

The values are entered in invisible ink, which is a bit disconcerting. Anyway, I put myself at the school I'm supposed to go to next week.
