Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2005Where are YOU? (an rpca map)
A cool map thing shown to me by a friend... Here's what you do. Use the slider to the left to zoom in by pushing the curser up. You can actually zoom to a street level! You may have to adjust the map by using the up/down/left/right arrows as the map gets larger as you zoom in. Pinpoint where you are and click to add your 'marker'. Put your name and a comment; URL if you have one and select an icon to represent you. Sorry, they don't have cat icons :( If you mess up and need me to delete something, let me know. http://myguestmap.lorca.eti.br/guestmap.jsp?id=jmcquown&locale=en Jill  SignatureI used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. >A cool map thing shown to me by a friend... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Jill I was very tempted to do it and got zoomed right to my road and position.

You can move it by clicking and dragging to where you want in the UK and zoom in closer and closer by moving up one step at a time in the left hand marker.

After I'd plopped myself in the general vicinity, I had a closer look and played with the zoom.

I'm rather pleased, I've pinpointed myself quite accurately. To the left you can see the big airport. That's where Dennis used to work. It's a huge military base where they used to refuel the B-52's during the Vietnam war. They also had a lot of US military cargo planes through there after the tsunami. At the inland end of the runway is a little lake, you can see it. It's called Crater Lake. It was formed when a B-52 crashed on takeoff and exploded. Made a huge crater! My town doesn't look like much on there. It's really grown lately! I wonder how old the image is. Anyway, trolls keep away from my house! I've got security guards. And an attack cat ;-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > I'm on!

I can pick out my own house quite clearly. I actually put my marker in a big vacant lot in my general area, but it's close enough. Britta, you're probably the only one who might realise my marker's not quite spot on as you've been here! >> I'm on!

LOL! I'm going to have to check that out, too bad it takes so long for each view to load due to my slow connection. I might have been there, but I doubt I could recognize your house from a satellite photo! I went to the Margaret River area to see the area where we'll be moving to. But it was like Thailand, it only lets you zoom in so far before it says that detailed info isn't available. Still, it was cool to see :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album I put three markers on the map, the first two were misplaced. Please delete the first two, the one to leave is labeled "Pat (2nd correction)" which you can edit to say only "Pat" like the original marker said, if in fact you can edit it.

Anything zeroed in beyond three or four clicks would cause the computers (yes, I tried on several machines) to crash or freeze. At any rate, while my placement isn't street-level accurate, my icon is now sitting all alone on the eastern coast of Canada. --Fil > (snippage of actual post here) > http://myguestmap.lorca.eti.br/guestmap.jsp?id=jmcquown&locale=en This is a very cool toy. :-) I seem to have ended up a fair bit north of where I thought I was putting myself, but that's okay. My teeny little town didn't seem to be on the map, anyhow, and all the satellite image showed was vast stretches of green. Anyway, greetings from somewhere in southeast Georgia USA! ------ Krista Right that's it, I'm definately not playing any more, I finally worked out how to do it, even got to put my marker on my actual street, and it bloody crashed. Grrr Thanks for removing my original marker, Jill! Now that I realize that you can zoom THAT close and be THAT precise with a marker, instead of just plopping one down on "Philadelphia" and hoping for the best, I put one on my home-away-from-home: the arena where the Phantoms (of the American Hockey League) play their home games. I figure that for the amount of time I spend in there, that might as well be where I place the map indicator. :o) Donna, Captain, and Stanley >A cool map thing shown to me by a friend... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Jill Great idea!

Petra >A cool map thing shown to me by a friend... Hi, I finally made it to the map. It's hard to place an icon on the german map. I'm not sure whether I put it right. I think the river rhine is wrong on the map, I might as well be a bit more west to the dutch border. I put a second icon on the US eastside. That's where my relatives live, and where I stay when I'm in the US. Actually, I was able to place the icon on the exact house :-))) Thank you for the map, Jill :) Purrs, Petra
