    Alabama LoCo Map

    I have created a Google Map so that we can put in some pins to see where everyone lives. I have a Frappr Map for it, but the service was acting weird for me and Jason.

    Anyway, here is the Google Map:

    http://snurl.com/ubuntualmap

    If anyone has any trouble putting their pin in, post there name (real name preferably) and their city and I will get it on there.

    I got this idea from the Louisiana Team. They have a very nice site setup at http://laubuntu.axxium.us/. You should stop by and check it out.

    Also, watch for some changes in the AlabamaTeam. We are going to try to get to Approved Status with Canonical. It is a simple process, but we need to start coming together and doing some stuff to spread the word about ubuntu. You can see what need to be done to get Approved status here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved.

    We are going to need a lot of help, but more details will be provided in a post later today or this weekend.

    Re: Alabama LoCo Map

    I can't seem to place a placemark on that map. I can save it to my maps but I cannot add to it. What type of permissions does it allow?

    ** I also Stickied the thread. That way people do not have to search for it.

    Unhappy Re: Alabama LoCo Map

    It looks like you have to have a Google account to place your own pin on the map. Most of us do nowadays, BUT if you do not have a Google account, and you don't want to get one, email me, PM me, or post here your name and location and I will place them on the map.

    For such a small area to represent, it might be better to say City and ZIP, than just City, since there will be a lot of Birmingham's and Huntsville's and such. The best way would be to use your full address, but that is up to your discretion.

    Re: Alabama LoCo Map

    Still no go. I have a Google account. I can get a menu that says , get direction from here,Dierctions to here, Zoom in, Zoom out, and center map here. On my other maps there is a place pin option in this menu but I cannot get that option on the LoCo map. Strange stuff.
    I rechecked Frappr as well, it is really acting wierd.

    Re: Alabama LoCo Map

    Seeing as Michael created it on his account, he will have the only ability to edit the map. We can however, save it to our maps in our Google accounts.

    Good job Michael. We can use this in the AL-Loco site for visitors to see that we're a diverse group. Thumbs up!

    Hello, Lady. Good to see you.
    I will make sure it gets added. How are the Ubuntu computers doing in the Library?
