Title: Member Map
Post by: Kitty Hello on 2008-Jul-01
There's a new feature in your profile options, where you can specify where you're from (using a google map). And there's this shiny new feature "member map" in the toolbar of this forum.

Hehe, the funny thing is, that location is only about 5 miles away from where I actually live

Sadly the images of northern Sweden is so sad on Google, I like these more:

I like this feature.  People never believe that I live on a golf course, now they can see that it is true. =D

What is hard to believe is that you can afford the gas to fly it ;)

you would know about European gas prices?
Although I was referring to aviation fuel which is much more expensive than the fuel you buy for your car, not all Americans (most, but not all) are ignorant of world politics and such ;)

That's a pretty cool feature.  And I see that Google Maps has been updated for our area as there's actually a house where we used to have a pile of dirt on the previous map.  Still, not sure I want to allow any psychos to just rock up at my doorstep ie. other members of this forum.  :whistle:  =D

Yeah ok I think we all know _I'm_ the psycho.

I think we all pointed a bit close to home at something "interesting".
See the members and get some laughs.

I actually pointed to my apartment building.  Anybody is welcome to visit, especially if they bring a pizza =D

Thanks for the tip!  Will have to check out everyones profile then. =D

As for mine...  Well erm there's not much in the way of interesting in this city.  Might have to point mine at Kangaroo Island. :)
