where is that located? it's been a while and I don't see it with the new site changes. In the side-bar on the map (you may need to click on it if it's collapsed - click the grey green bar on the left side of the map), click Set Map Preferences. Edit: I see the bar is green now. I'm sure it used to be grey. I do not seem to have a side bar. I'd like to have my Google maps back.

OK, thanks!

Thank you very much! Does it allow for the creation of "play anywhere" cartridges?

I am brand new to Wherigo and would like to create some of my own. I use a Mac and have ZERO coding experience/knowledge. Any suggestions as to what to use? Is there anything I can use to build one, or am I out of luck? Thank you!

Hmmm, interesting. I have 6,000+ sheets of shrinky dink paper (long story), and aside from sig tags or coin proxies haven't thought of what to do with it all. I might have to send out a couple of "track by emailing me" tags and see what happens. The referenced "etsy" item "tags" (the part where you are to write the contact information for "tracking") are cardboard. The surprise to me is that cardboard was said to be better than TBs for getting communication about discoveries/moves. The "shrinky dink" attachment is probably not too bad. I think the ease of the attached tag on these is that the finder instantly sees what he/she is supposed to do with the trackable...no mystery website to navigate.

You use cardboard "shipping labels"? How long have yours been in play? I have seen email style "tracked" card once in a cache. It was cardboard, a handcrafted card. The cache container was dry inside. I've been using them for a couple of years and have had them go from Missouri to Minnesota, Texas and Louisiana. One happened to follow me out to Wyoming once!

I've actually had very good luck with SwagTags from swagtags.etsy.com They come with a label on which you can put your own tracking info so you can track it however you want through an email account, a blog, or whatever. I've heard back from more of these than I have from TBs.

I can adapt to change, and I understand why GS left Google. But what bothers me the most with the new maps (besides not working on my iPad) is that they do not seem to show any city or state parks like the old ones did. This made planning an outing much easier.
