RPCA Map

For new folks who may not have put themselves on the map, here's the link:

You can use your mouse to click and drag the map around. The satellite view
+ text (Hybrid) is probably easier for pinpointing where you are. I can't
say the images are exactly up to date, but what the heck, it's fun! If you
make a mistake, just tell me what the entry is (email is fine) and I'll
delete it so you can try again. I cannot move you (hell, I can barely move
myself sometimes! LOL) but I can delete you.

Hi Jill

I see "Marcia Slave to Otis" is in the Atlantic ocean off the coast of
France.
IIRC she did suggest a deletion of this one.

There are two entries for Marcia... I'm not sure which one to delete!

You should be able to recognize the ocean (deletable) one 'cos there's
no land for Miiiiiiiiiiiiles, until you see the N coast of France well
to
the right of Marcia's symbol. Good luck.

The satellite image of where I live is not very clear, I was quite
amazed how much I could see in other parts of the world.

The problem is, when I'm in Admin mode I can't view the map.

amazed how much I could see in other parts of the world.

Just for kicks, I looked up a couple of spots in the UK where I used to
live. I could find my Mum's old house in Windsor (of course, the
opposite end of town to where the Queen lives) with no problem. But when
I shifted the map over a mile or so to look for my Dad's old place,
which was a bit closer to those royal neighbours, the highest res
satellite views were not available at all, and that whole area of town
around the castle was very badly blurred. Take a look at
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.47...1340&t=k&hl=en
and zoom in, and you'll see what I mean. The satellite views of whole
area from Windsor Castle through to Heathrow Airport are doctored so you
can't read 'em. Too many interesting things and people in that area, I
guess!

more... maybe I'm too suspicious, and it's just coincidence that you
can't see details. But I'm curious. Anyone tried finding the White House
or their local equivalent?

You can find it if you know where on Pennsylvania Avenue to look The
Washington Momument is prevelant as are the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials,
the Smithsonian Institution, etc. The thing the map does not point out is
in big huge letters, THIS IS THE WHITE HOUSE! After 9/11, can you blame
them?

Ah, that IS a problem. Without knowing exactly what you can see,
I'd suggest that if Marcia's correct marker is somewhere within
the UK (as I think she said it was) then the incorrect one will be
seen below and to the left of that, ie Southwest.

Hope that helps

Cheers
