I don't see how to add my location??

 

[Cableguy]

Sorry Erel, noob mistake...Can you please try it now?!

 

[warwound]

Great idea - i managed to add myself.

Martin.

 

[Cableguy]

Glad to ear that...

 

[Erel]

I add the small person and then it takes me to Street View. It doesn't stay...

Maybe time for a coffee.

You need to be logged in with a valid Google account first - i think.

Then you'll see a red EDIT button top left, click that.

Now a toolbar appears on the map with 3 icons, first a hand icon then a marker icon.
Click the marker icon then click the map to add your marker.
Add a title and optional description - you can customise the marker icon by clicking the icon in the infowindow and selecting a custom icon.
Finally click Save button (top left).

Note that seems to work only with Firefox and maybe Chrome, I have IE10 and no luck.

Success! If it reaches 20 members I will put a link in the top navigation bar...

 

[Jost aus Soest]

Done.

@NJDude: I've found you're marker in Antartica!
And I thought, the hell is much hotter.

I noticed that i can move all the markers around , what if someone do that by accident, will maps save that change?

 

[Cableguy]

Actually NO... Indeed you can move them around... but hitting F5 will refresh the markers to their original positions..

 

[Cableguy]

already 50% of target menber Markers...C'Mon guys!!!!

 

[Cableguy]

15... we need 5 more to get it sticky...!

 

[Jim Brown]

I'm in.

 

[GabrielM]

I'm in.

@Cableguy, I like this idea. However I don't think that it will work with these settings. Eventually someone will mistakenly (or not) move the placemarks and will save it.

I think I made it 20
