Default Where Are You?

I just saw the thread Slightly updated list of Canadian 964 Rennlisters and thought, wouldn't it be great to have something like a Google Earth view where Rennlisters could post there location for all to see? I'm always curious where "posters" are located, especially those nearby and on the opposite side of the Earth.

Just an idea with no concept of how it could be accomplished.

Any interest?

Any techno's out there who know how this or something similar could be accomplished?

P.S. Pins could be located near actual addresses, not necessarily right on them, to avoid thieves using the thread to locate our cars. (Not a problem for me. My place is so remote, I can't even find my own way home some nights.)

I'm off the top of your second map.

I am pretty sure we could add a 'layer' to Google Earth... would be fun to see the distribution. I am in Portland, OR...

Default 964 Map

I subscribed to a Rennlist 964 Map several years ago on Google Maps. I am not exactly sure how to distribute or invite folks to post on it. I believe that you will need a Google account (not necessarily a gmail account).

I've shared a map with you called Rennlist 964:

Yea, that's it. So it's been done.

How would we get this back in operation and make it easier for all to sign on?

I only had a few minutes to look at this. Is it interactive so that clicking on a flag takes you to the useer name?

Here is the original post where the Google Map was initiated:

Perhaps someone can help with the instructions on how to post, or even update an existing post.
One of the key requirements is that you have a Google account (not a big or bad deal anyway).
Yes, you can zoom in and click on any of the tags and see the person/user name and any info they may have included.
