Arrow Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) So two weeks ago after OCR Talkback 21 ended, we were discussing random things, and one thing that popped up was coming up with ways to make local OCR meetups more convenient as far as contacting people, and the obvious answer to that was "make one giant map where everyone can list the general area they live in", so people can see who lives nearby to contact. On a whim, I decided to just go ahead and throw this together today: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zxEqFkZHC3Ss.krqtZIAB68NU It's a Google Map open to edit by anyone who's got the link. Feel free to throw your ReMixer name/online alias, and your real name if you like, on a pin in the general area of your hometown. If you don't feel comfortable listing your exact location, that's totally cool; it's not like I put my pin down on my exact address in Maryland! You can just throw it in the center of your city, or a nearby large city, or whatever. EDIT: Alright, I've unfortunately had to lock the map down, because folks adding themselves are accidentally moving others in the process. Google Maps Beta works just like Google Drive, so there's no option to make it so people can only put a marker once and then can't edit the map again. If you want to be added to the map, you can still get onboard... but you'll need to post in this thread (or PM one of the map editors, listed below) with the general location you want the marker at and what name(s) you want listed. People who can edit the map: Arrow, Bahamut, Flexstyle, Liontamer Edited March 12, 2014 by Arrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cool idea I'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It almost goes without saying, but there's no need to pin your actual home address. Just pin yourself on the city you live in or the nearby major city/area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I wouldn't have mind putting my zip code, but I can't figure out how to change it now. But right in the middle of Atlanta is pretty close anyways. I like this idea a lot. I like people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
