Hello Rich and everyone.

Clicked on the map before zoomed in so I'm on it but not actually too near where I live.

Re. my computer skills by the way - if I were up with the latest thing I would probably not have a 75 - I keep putting straw under the front wheels but the horse isn't eating it and I'm sure that petrol can't be good for its stomach.

I was thinking of putting another flag but it could look like manipulating the numbers (or to be more practical - might get billed for double membership fee - and, if I need to rob a bank for that, these cars are a bit too distinctive on the CCTV footage for an easy getaway.

Have fun.

Now I've zoomed in, I realise my marker is a few miles from my house as well!

If you would like to start again, I can delete your pin if you so wish?

Although to be honest, if doesn't have to be perfect, it is to give me an idea for member locations when organising events.

Well, I was careful to encrypt my location anyway.
(Now the evenings are getting lighter, I soon won't be able to come to even the Wednesday night meetings.)

If you want me there, you'll have to try to get them to keep the bar open a little later - about half an hour after the sun has set.
Make sure there's nothing containing garlic on the menu - and definitely no stake.

Hi Rich.
How can a club member not be an obsessive about detail? - and a regional big wig at that? - I though it was essential. lol.
Does that comment to 438brad mean that we aren't allowed to stalk each other's cars either? whoops! No I wasn't honestly and would deny it in court.
By the way though, re the purpose of the map, i can't attend all meets as unusual work shifts and so would not tread on others toes but do like the Hollow Tree - nice pub and car park and gives an excuse for a run - has anyone thought of asking the cars their opinions by the way? (must stop sniffing this petrol).
Have fun. Take care.

I've been trying to put myself on this map for a week now but no success.
I can zoom in and drag the map to the location but the left click does nothing, while a double click just zooms in further (right click does not help either).
When I'm hovering on the map the pointer is a hand which changes to a clenched fist when I click or hold the left click button

I've tried it with 3 different browsers with the same result and I use google maps quite a bit anyway.

No doubt I'm doing something stupid (it's been a week for that) but can't see what. Any ideas?

Ken it's nothing you're doing wrong, it doesn't seem to be functioning correctly. Iirc a right click brought up the box to enter your location plus details and that's just not happening .
