+Team GPSaxophone Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 How do you make your own? Do it yourself maps. I recommend not using the default black to shade your map. The outlines will be black, so it would be hard to tell which individual states are shaded in places like New England. You can change the text color, but not the outline color, so choose a different color to shade the states. To post your map, you can link to the URL it provides, or you can upload it to something like Photobucket. I prefer using Photobucket because when my map changes, I just replace the image and use the same URL. If you just link to the URL the site provides, you can't update your map in your post.

+Monkeybrad Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 28, not counting locationless caches. I am hoping to add some more states to this one this year. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I love threads like this one. I'm going to have to throw a new map together this evening. Quote Link to comment

+StarBrand Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Lots of territory (miles) - not many states. Quote Link to comment
+BruceS Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I only really count a state that I have found at least 50 in but I have included all states I have found at least one in. I will have more than 50 finds in Mn and Ia within the next month and may find caches in a couple others too. Quote Link to comment

+Markwell Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Cool, except that the resulting image is 800x600. Makes it hard to put directly on the profile... I wonder how much bandwidth they'll allow. Quote Link to comment

Redo your map, then save it and upload it to Photobucket or your geocaching profile Quote Link to comment
+Webfoot Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 These are mine. I was planning on Oregon this summer, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get there after all. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) Fun topic with no silly angst! My brother is moving to New Orleans this summer, so I'll be able to add LA and MS and maybe AL. I'll get GA and FL in May with GW3 travels. Found caches in Italy too, but don't want to create a Europe map just for that. Here's mine: Edited March 8, 2005 by wimseyguy Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 The sad thing is how many states I've been in that I haven't been able to cache in, cause of my traveling companions. That's where you get a little frustrated. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I agree. I was in Orlando over the weekend and I kept seeing cache locations go by the car window. Quote Link to comment
