Place a pin where you live give us some details. This idea came from Rootbeard (Paul).

Now you can find someone in your area to fly with. Providing they have placed their pin. To accurately place your pin-Zoom the map first and then place your pin.

This can also be found on the main page at the bottom.

Ah Shucks!!!!!

Can't wait to see the map fill up.

Thanks Robert !!!! Looks Kewl.

Kewl!!

It'll be great when we get everyone on there, but will probably have to get smaller icons! Are you going to get the other C/L discipline groups pinned in here too?

Cool idea Paul, I bumped you one for it,

Good idea, but the implementation is too crude and difficult
to use. (JMNSHO..)

You can change the setting to dots and makes it easy to pin point your spot.
Then zoom in.

Well Larry I did not write the program. I just paid for it.

Robert,

It's always easy to criticize, sorry about that. (I couldn't even begin to write
such a program, myself..) It's probably some clever little J++ thing.

And I have to admit, I'm an old man who doesn't have a lot of patience, and
doesn't invest much in learning how to use things nowadays. (Consider
the source - me!)

Best regards Robert.

Great suggestion Paul. However when you show up later this month you will find I am really not off the Oregon Coast.

RC Storick · « **Reply #11 on:** August 11, 2006, 06:01:48 PM »

Well I can delete your pin and you can put a new one where you really are if you like.

Hi Robert. Can you delete the pin I stuck in southern Tennessee. That's the closest I could get in northern Alabama. Another pin in Alabama kept coming up and blocking mine. When I put it in Tenn., I didn't think it had taken, but it did. I didn't see the icon for enlarging the map until too late. In a hurry. You know the rest.

Done deal!

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong in my attempt to place a pin on the map after four tries it is not there. What is a url? That is the only blank I don't know.

Richard Grogan · « **Reply #15 on:** August 12, 2006, 01:05:15 PM »

Gordon,
I think you have to put something in comment box, like where you are, ect..

Same thing happened to me Gordon. After I filled in something in the "comment box" it worked fine.

I just had a look at the map and noted that my pin on Auckland, New Zealand has disappeared?

In the top of the window you will see an arrow that says foreword and backward. Click on that. I think the program is changing pages when you do that because of so many pins.

Help ! Ive fallen off the map and cant get back on!

LOOK at the top left of the map. There is a arrow saying forward click there and your pin will show up.

RC Storick · « **Reply #30 on:** August 24, 2006, 06:13:11 PM »

In order for the pin to post you must make a comment.

Hi Igor,

I can see your red pin just fine! Did you hit the "go forward" arrow on the top left side of the map?

There is a "Go forward" and "Go back" depending on which page you are on.

Bill <><

Igor Burger · « **Reply #33 on:** August 29, 2006, 09:39:12 AM »

oh yes, now I see it too, thanx ....

Bill Adair · « **Reply #34 on:** August 29, 2006, 11:40:28 PM »

Just placed my pin, but I see we have some C/L guys out at sea.

Glad we can delete and reset the pin, as I was almost on the Pacific coast myself, on my first attempt to place a pin.

Randy Cuberly · « **Reply #35 on:** August 31, 2006, 01:28:38 PM »

Robert,
Maybe I'm just dense today, but I've tried several times to post a flag on the map and nothing happens. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I think this is a nice idea...maybe it's just too challenging for us dweebs!

RC Storick · « **Reply #36 on:** August 31, 2006, 04:44:35 PM »

Your name and email address? And where you live? I will post it for you.

Randy Cuberly · « **Reply #37 on:** August 31, 2006, 05:01:29 PM »

Robert,

My name is Randy Cuberly; my e-mail address is randall_w_cuberly@raytheon.com

Tried to put it in Tucson AZ of course but it didn't seem to appear. Now I learn that there is more than one map; that slid by me, so it's possible that it did take and I just didn't see it on the other map...Hmmmmm.

RC Storick · « **Reply #38 on:** August 31, 2006, 05:06:10 PM »

Bill Sawyer · « **Reply #40 on:** August 31, 2006, 05:57:11 PM »

Is there any way to remove a listing? Somehow I have one in the center of the US at the canadian border almost.

RC Storick · « **Reply #41 on:** August 31, 2006, 06:31:42 PM »

Not that I can find

Bill Adair · « **Reply #42 on:** August 31, 2006, 07:22:33 PM »

That's very strange.

I moved my pin yesterday, but can't do it again today.

Perhaps I hadn't finalized my pin location, but the first attempt located it right on the pacific coast, so I deleted that entry, and moved it closer to Portland.

Could be a time limited editing capability, like some other forums use for messages.

peter_gibbons · « **Reply #43 on:** September 01, 2006, 11:35:34 AM »

Hmmm I have tried 3 times now to place my pin just west of Frank Carlisle and John Paris, but it never puts it on there? I have added comments, and filled out all the fields... Sorry Robert I guess its just user error for some reason... Can you stick it on there?

Thanks,

Ryan
