Interest in (Google) Map of BLF Users?

oh, I think both together will have a tough time outnumbering NY :wink:

home of the slaves!

Im on the map… Another member from the northern and darker part of EU.
But where I am, there is always light!

I know, it’s a problem. I live on a main road in the central part of the city. It’s always bright and we never loose power. :expressionless: The best part is that Nova Scotia has become a leader in LED street lights and my city has been installing them everywhere, so it’s bright white light pollution now.

Cool idea! I am in!

I couldn’t figure the durned thing out to save my life! lol well, ok, took a while but I stumbled around in it til I was satisfied. Sucks being old, this computer tech stuff that the kids just intuitively know is a booger for the old birds! :stuck_out_tongue:

Not so much in the middle of light pollution. Pretty much opposite that. And for us, lights can go at any time. Beautiful spring day, not a cloud in the sky, poof…no electricity. They’re usually pretty quick to get it fixed though, I’ll give em that. We also, being out in the country, have trees on fence lines…which of course is also where the power lines run. Storms quite often knock out the quick growing trashy trees like Hackberry that the birds are so fond of planting and they wreak havoc on the power lines. So a flashlight a Stihl chainsaw with pre-mixed gas handy are almost a pre-requisite.

Nice to see the connections, although some of us are literally the world apart seeing it on the map flattened out gives some perspective. Almost makes it seem like we’re all neighbors! :slight_smile:

I screwed it up sorry!

Fixed it for you. :)

Ps. I also took a backup .kml file to be able to restore back to this situation in case someone manages to break the map totally..

Thanks!!

Just added my location to the map.

Now I’m expecting some visits from all of you guys around the world :smiley:

Seems like M3TAL_LORD fixed it already. Enjoy! :)

Edit: To delete a push pin, you need to:
- switch to edit mode by clicking 'Edit'-button
- select your push pin (from the map or from left pane)
- click 'Delete' in edit box

Editing your info works the same way..

My placement got moved about 30 miles away! Wonder if this is going to prove very reliable if things can get shifted around so easily. Oh well.

added my place.

thanks :slight_smile:

Yes, that's a problem in Edit-mode. It's too easy to move push pins..

If that happens, please remember to click 'Undo' after the accidental move.

If the push pins keep moving and/or "funny" text appear (more than earlier today), I'll remove the edit rights from all users. After that you need to PM me to get your push pin added to the map..

But let's still try with the collaborative edit mode. Please be careful and don't mess up the map.

good idea

Took the first pin in New Jersey!

I’m in, first member from Mass…

that could get laborious!

I know there are ways to import a spreadsheet - although I suppose if that was open for editing we could have the same issues…

Hey FMc, you ever eat at Pappy’s on Union Blvd?

If you type in a given address where you want your icon to appear, there’s no need to edit the map. So use the street corner, 5th and Main, and the icon will appear right there. Done. No need to go into edit mode. If you don’t mind using your actual address, just put in the search bar and there ya go.

I think the OP was actually thinking of an automated system that would put a blip on the map in accordance to where you say you are in your profile. As Gords said, sb would be in the dark, somewhere….
