We could always set up an Adventure Gamers Google Map or Frapper Map.

e.g

Great idea, Lucien!

You can add BoyToy and me. ^_^

How do I add a pin to the map? It says "view only" for me.

I believe vBulletin forums have an optional feature that creates a map for memebrs to mark their location. Perhaps the mods would be interested in implementing this?

I have had to add them as I set up the map.

Not sure, if you have a google account does it let you add your own pins??

That sounds like an admin job to me (and by admin, I mean Doug).

Our house is more or less in the middle of the picture. It's next to the house with the bright blue car in front of it.

I don't know if this works, but the black and white building in the center if the picture is my building.

I'd ask him, but he never responds to IMs. I'll PM him.

Here's mine - the house in the middle with the stained roof, with my toyota wagon in the driveway.

Thanks for adding me, Lucien!

... but please don't write my name as two words.

And - is there a reason you marked us as being in Hamburg, rather than Wedel?

Here's me and SnorkleCat

Zoom out a few notches to see the nice colour of the ocean. We work about an hour's drive west of there in Cape Town.

It's daft that Google maps doesn't let you make public maps your friends can add pins to, or have some easy way to share your map pins with people so they can add them to their own maps.

Mel, you can stop looking in closets and poking under the bed with a broom handle. This one should be right.
