3396 Italy Magazine Member Map

[QUOTE=ronald]Today Google, in its usually way, did something revolutionary for most of Europe's web users.

Clear road data information for all of Italy (and several other countries).

We jumped to the opportunity to enhance this service through the Italy Magazine website and the first offering is our Italy Magazine Forum Member Maps - just click [URL="http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/vbgooglemap.php"]here to add your spot in Italy.[/URL]

Please, please avoid advertising. This is for members to share either their location in Italy or simply their favourite spot. It is not a place for holiday rentals and all the rest.

All the best,

Ronald[/QUOTE]

Great idea, Ronald! However.... as for a favourite spot... I've got several! ;);)

Guess I'll have to decide which I really really liked best! Ahhh tricky...

I must be a bit slow........I've found the spot on the map, but I can't work out the double clicking bit at all. :confused:

LOL... I had to click twice before it slowly registered... in my little grey cells! :D

Once you double click on the place, it appears in the centre of the map (nothing else happens!). Then just add your comment in the space provided on the left and click to submit - e voila'! ;)

Success!! Thanks Steph.:)

Got there in the end!!

Using the satellite version, I can actually see my house.
With great excitement I placed the bubble on the roof. Then I thought about it a little more.... Perhaps not such a good idea.
At the risk of stating the obvious I'd advise anyone who's pin-pointing a home, only to mark the general area. Paranoid? Me? :eek:

In any case.. Tuscanhills, you got there first and your bubble's on top of mine!! Anyone got a pin? :)

I'm happy to change colour bubble, but this seems to be tied to something else.....other versionso of Google Local allows one to change colours 'indiscriminately'!

You can go on top every other week ;)

Did I really say that to another man?
....in a public forum?
..........George Michael has been arrested for less!

Gosh! I wouldn't even say that to my wife! :o

Who's living in the middle of the sea?
This is confusion, not yacht-ism ;)

Rather a poor show from the Puglia Posse so far, eh? Do you think they need a 'elping hand from us oop north?

Looks like I'm all on my own at the moment:( :(

And some people are complaining that this forum has too much *****ing, it sounds like there is a lot of love out there to me:o

In the central region I have noticed that we are split between the coasts. Once a few more members have made their mark, I suggest we meet in the middle for a West v East football match.
I have also been thinking that it might be wise to cutout the nude sunbathing on the lawn, if the range gets any closer, it could bring a whole new meaning to 'member's profile'.
:D

......but does the map only appear every so often?

What am I doing wrong?

Kim - as the map depends on Google it might depend on how busy traffic is or how weak your connection is (it might give up at some times) - just reload the page.

...so far no-one is closer that 300km to me.. so I guess its safe to continue moderating ;-)

Safe for you or for us?
:D

mmmmm - good query Mr Hillls!! :)

I have added my location. Should be a great tool for arranging get togethers!

went to add my location near Rome and thought it looked busy so checked out my neighbours - in Bologna and Piedmonte??????is this an error in the system or are geography lessons in order?

Fiona, I placed my mark in Ancona,Le Marche right at the start, I am no longer there, I guess that I have been buried alive,:eek: no where to be seen.

Frantiani, you are still there. just inland from Ancona, not too far from us at Pergola.

If you zoom in its much easier to find individuals

Is this dead now; I can't find the link anymore.......:err:

I think its on Ronald's 'to-list'. He's just done the internet equivalent of moving house, so I guess he'll find the map at the bottom of the last tea-chest, just below the Christmas decorations and and things he bought from the Innovations catalogue.

The map is actually alive and kicking - it's just that you can't see it :biggrin:!

Will be linked on Monday once I've give it a nice spring cleaning as well

I just tried clicking the link on the initial post, but the web page cannot be found.

Am I being dense, or is there a different link?

[QUOTE=redslk;61661]I just tried clicking the link on the initial post, but the web page cannot be found.

Ok, Ok! I understand... The link is on the menu bar listed as "Member Map".

Stupid place to put it if you ask me!:embarrassed:

I even figured out how to get my listing on there. Hopefully not to pre emptive. We have signed for the house yet.

If you click on the "Member Map" heading in the menu directly above, there is no problem or just click on [url]http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/vbgooglemapme.php?do=showmain[/url]. Ronald did say he was doing a spring cleaning so that links became redundant!!! I have faith in the guy!!!

See my second post, it only took me 15 minutes to figure:biggrin:

And I think I'm quite good with techno stuff!

Andy, if you look at the times of our respective posts, we obvoiusly crossed one another alas. I didn't therefore see your's before mine went out. No harm done.

I tried to access the map and it tells me I'm not entitled to access the map. Any idea why?

[QUOTE=Licciana;61678]I tried to access the map and it tells me I'm not entitled to access the map. Any idea why?[/QUOTE]

Ditto. I feel quite hurt.

Licciana and annec: were you perhaps 'not logged in' when you tried to access the map?

I just tried it as 'guest', and got asked to log in. Having done that the map was there.

If that isn't the case - you could try a PM to the administrator (probably won't have any effect, but might make you feel better!)

I have tried everything and cannot get to the map. I get a message that says ; " The page has been removed or had its name changed".

Thought I had added myself, went back to map - not there:confused:

I get the message that I do not have permission to access this page. Did I perhaps do something wrong in a previous life?

I don't have any problem at all.
I'm logged in, I press on "member maP", and I'm there instantly.
Maybe it's a browser problem?

Yep just tried it myself(I'm logged in) comes up blank page and say's page not found top left corner,

It still sounds as if one or two of you are clicking on Ronald's initial link. That doesn't work. However Member Map on the menu above should do. Even in my old Safari browser it works!!!

Ah it doesn't today work in Safari. today However it does in Firefox so yes try a dufferent browser.

Sorry for typos again .....

I've tried both Firefox and IE on the Member Map link above but whatever I use it comes up with:

[B]"Licciana[/B], you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
[LIST=1]
[*]Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
[*]If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."[/LIST]
Strange.

Hello all,

will check this out tomorrow for you and see what is going on.

All the best,

Me too (only it says annec not Licciana). Definitely not using Ronald's link

Na na ne na na! Mine still works.

Must be ok for new members.

Ah but I'm as old as the hills here, but not the Tuscan Ones I think!!! lol

I can access the members map and see it shows some 'no longer members' but in entirely the wrong place!

I suppose as they don't belong to the forum any more it doesn't matter where the map sites them but it does make me wonder about the accuracy of the map.

I had noticed there is not a soul in western sicily and considered pretending to be there to make it feel better.

Still can't access this

[quote=annec;62054]Still can't access this[/quote]

cant help thinking it is a browser/plug in/both issue that Italmag cant help with

However perhaps Ronald could maybe publish some browser compatibility issues + any plug in constraints
