Flyinfool Posted April 10, 2013 #76 Posted April 10, 2013 Lookin good Don Sorry I made so much work for you by giving you the lead.
Freebird Posted April 10, 2013 Author #78 Posted April 10, 2013 Well thanks...or something...go out to Flyinfool and to Deepforkriver. Deepforkriver brought up the idea to begin with and then Flyinfool suggested the Google maps. It's not perfect though. I've not found a good way to get it to work with Iphones or Ipads because they don't support Java. I found one possible work around but it involved buing the App called Firefox Virtual Browser. I bought it and tried it but am not very impressed. It does work but is VERY slow and cumbersome to use.
deepforkriver Posted April 10, 2013 #79 Posted April 10, 2013 I am not sure what to say other than it WILDLY EXCEEDS my expectations of what I believed was possible. It is what I had in mind, but had no Idea it could be done. BIG TIME PROPS TO DON!!! OUTSTANDING!:dancefool: GROUP HUG! James
Long Tall Posted April 10, 2013 #81 Posted April 10, 2013 Easy to use. Added myself without any problem....TKS for taking time to provide Long Tall
Dooder1 Posted April 10, 2013 #82 Posted April 10, 2013 Im in. The sat view is assume. My pond looks like a lake lol Checked out all my 85 acres boy do I have allot of tree's.
Dano Posted April 10, 2013 #83 Posted April 10, 2013 I'm on there too. Wasn't hard at all to figure out and do. Nice setup Don
Gary N. Posted April 10, 2013 #84 Posted April 10, 2013 It would work a lot better as a contact list if folks would list their phone number and town on the balloon.
TDunc Posted April 10, 2013 #85 Posted April 10, 2013 . This is looking slicker than Owl Poop! Simple and effective... Thanks for all the hard work Don.
Eddie Posted April 10, 2013 #86 Posted April 10, 2013 . This is looking slicker than Owl Poop! Oh you don't want to go there
V7Goose Posted April 10, 2013 #87 Posted April 10, 2013 This is great Don. Thanx! One question- how do you find this other than the link in this thread? Goose
Freebird Posted April 10, 2013 Author #88 Posted April 10, 2013 I was just making sure it was going to work OK. Now that it appears that people like it, I will be adding a link to the menu bar. Will try to get around to it tonight.
XV1100SE Posted April 10, 2013 #89 Posted April 10, 2013 Might be an idea if you can set it up so that when people join the site or become members one of the options is to add/update location.
Freebird Posted April 10, 2013 Author #90 Posted April 10, 2013 Maybe I can figure out how to do that when people become supporting members. I have it set to only be accessible to supporting members due to the personal information included.
Dave77459 Posted April 10, 2013 #91 Posted April 10, 2013 I would encourage anyone who thinks they want to use the map during a crisis along the road, to try it before they go. It is possible, and perhaps a lifesaver, but it is awkward. Better to try it at your leisure with Wifi than to learn while pressured and with crappy reception. My impression, at least.

Freebird Posted April 10, 2013 Author #92 Posted April 10, 2013 I agree. Also note that if you use an IPAD or Iphone, it really doesn't work at all. Also, please note that I have added a link to the map in the upper menu bar. VR Members Map. Don
playboy Posted April 10, 2013 #94 Posted April 10, 2013 I agree. Also note that if you use an IPAD or Iphone, it really doesn't work at all. Also, please note that I have added a link to the map in the upper menu bar. VR Members Map. Don I hope you consulted Eck before placing it there if not you'll probably have to move it.
V7Goose Posted April 10, 2013 #95 Posted April 10, 2013 I am using an android smart phone to access the site since I am back in Texas's again trying to move more stuff. I don't find the map particularly awkward to use, but it did take some playing around to figure out what all is there. The toughest part has just been hitting the little zoom and position buttons on this little screen. But I have only had this phone for about a month, so I am still learning it too. Goose
motorcycle_1300 Posted April 10, 2013 #97 Posted April 10, 2013 First off I like the idea. now the question, is there any way to have two entries. I am a retired snowbird I live in Naples Fl during the winter months, but I live near Plattsburgh, NY during the summer and would like to have another pin, just in case somebody needed help Al
kevin-vic-b.c. Posted April 10, 2013 #98 Posted April 10, 2013 Ok yesterday it worked fine for me...... today the map is blank. I can see the members list, I can call up my point... or anyone's point one at a time but the main map is blank.
Trader Posted April 10, 2013 #99 Posted April 10, 2013 oh oh....somebody did the URL thing again and messed it up!!!! Oh Don!!!!! :sign **** happens:
playboy Posted April 10, 2013 #100 Posted April 10, 2013 Question or maybe suggestion Will the members map show up when you click on the little globe beside your information when you post to a thread or is this possible ? To answer my own question no it doesn't work that way. Like others map is blank for me also. Whats a SUPER MODERATOR ?
