Put yourself on the Map!

Rabble,

In light of Ron's (Riverkilt) post about assessing remote kilties, I thought I'd make a seperate post to remind everyone that there IS an XMTS Frappr map. A short time ago I was given the duties, and title, of tending to it. (Hence the "Kilted Cartographer" title, and "Map Campain Ribbon" next to my name.)

So, for those of you who haven't done so, please take a few moments to sign yourselves up. The map can be found here. And, there is always the link in my signature as well.

Sorry, can't make any sense of it.

'Kay, got it.

Go to a pin that says add me, then just follow the directions.

I would be happy to oblige,Bradley,but it is beyond my ken to even find Scotland on your "technomap"!

There seems to be a problem with the map image.

There's an orange button that says "join" at the top of the map itself. You should be able to click that and enter in your info. I'm seeing the problem with the map image too. Not sure what the deal is with that. It seems their server's a little busy or something...

I've never had success using that map. It takes too long to paint, refresh and resize. If I want to know where someone is, I usually look for that information in their profile, if it's there at all.

If I recall, last year there was a small, but reasonably successful, campaign to encourage everyone to update his or her profile to include location information. I think Hamish requested it. I found the results of that to be most satisfactory.

Regards,
Rex, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, just like it says up there on the right.

I've added myself to the map.

Rex,
The point of the map is also to have an overview look at the dispersion of everyone. If you want to know where someone in particular is, then your method is by far a better route. But, if you wanted to look at a particular are and see who was there, the map is a more effective route.
