Geobuddies Interactive Map

Hi

 

After reading a few replies on the 'adopt a newbie' thread, I have toyed with the idea of an interactive map.

I would like it to be a quick and easy way to search for a friend to go out caching with.

Let me know what you think about the idea

I've added us too - it did not know where Bolas Heath was so we had to go for the nearest town which is about 7 miles away.

 

I think you got your location wrong Hazel, unless you have moved to the North East of the country :laughing:

I'm there! If the search doesn't find your home town, you can drag the map and zoom with the +/- buttons - then click where your home is the marker will move to where you have clicked. Meaning you can be as precise as you wish.

oops... now I always liked geordie accents, but no - I'm still in Wirral!!!

If you so wish, once you are on the map, click on the Take this Chat With You link under the chat room on the right. Then on the Frappr Map section click Get This Widget. When you are happy with the settings click I'm Done. You can then copy the html link provided into a section in your Profile as with other such tools.

Make sure you check the new "I use HTML box' otherwise it won't show.

There's already one of these, created maybe a year ago: http://www.frappr.com/geocachers

 

Great minds think alike :(

 

I have set the FindaGeobuddy one up for new UK Geocachers to search for Geocachers in their area.

It would also help anyone coming over here on their hols and wanted to get in touch with a cacher.

 

I've tried to email the site admin of the link above, but there does not seen to be one ?

OK. I've signed up. After a lot of cursing and muttering and assistance from MrB, I've got my pin in the right spot. I've tried out the "chat" with a few peeps....

 

However, on several occasions the program has caused IE to crash <_<

Just one though. I use my office address for things like this to keep some form of privacy but I guess many of you are using your home address location. Perhaps is is worth considering tweaking your location by a few hundred meters to be on the safe side (but don't go the the extent Hazel went to <_<). Please note that I am not paranoid, they really are out the get me.

A good and valid point.

I joined and it put me in the States. Couldn't move my location so had to deactivate account.???????

 

I can't see you name in the members list, do you want to try again ?
