    Okay you folks that told me you were in the wrong place..I deleted
    you..so that you can put yourself in the right place now.

    Remember, zoom down first!!!!!

    If anyone else needs to be deleted, let me know..I will delete you,
    so you can remark yourself.

    This is fun!!!!!

    Christine

    Thank you for making this lovely map! It's great to see where everybody's
    from. And hello to Nathalie! 🙂

    Dana


    Waving back to Dana : hi ! I seem to be hiding behind you on the map,
    imagine that: Antwerp hiding behind Leuven :-)

    Also switch to satellite or hybrid (if it's possible to add the marker
    in that mode)... I was off by one house when I added the second marker
    to the default map, so I have to try again.

    Actually, it is a lot of fun. Wayne and I got into a discussion about
    where in the world RFC could hold an "International" Cook-in.... but
    the "where" was an issue. Once all the folks put "themselves in the
    right place" we might know where to start 😉
    Thanks for the effort Christine.

    Kathy, if it makes any difference... you live in one of my "must
    visit" areas.

    Tammy, you ended up somewhere in Utah or the likes.

    Zoom in before you put in your marker.... zoom down to the street
    level.

    I also found out, from another friend, that you can find your exact
    house by the satellite view...

    Christine

    I've tried finding exact house, but I suppose it's where you live and
    whether they've got the satellite map for that particular area yet. Mine is
    not more than a spot, if that; I recognize it by the trees and the forest.

    Well, in Switzerland, you can't even see the town. I got to the Lake
    of Geneva level, then nothing.

    Kathy, if it makes any difference... you live in one of my "must
    visit" areas.

    You should come over here, if you can, sf. Most people really enjoy
    coming to South Africa for a visit - the weather is great (most of the
    year), the people are friendly and we have good food too 😉 Have you
    ever tried ostrich? Yummy.

    Visit So. Africa is second on my "to do" list. #1 is to take a cruise
    from Scandinavia along the coast of Europe to Russia.

    Okay folks..

    A lot of folks are adding themselves... But I guess I forgot to add
    one important piece of information.

    You can zoom down to street level on this map. You have to keep on
    zooming in, and moving the map. You move the map so you can zero in,
    and then keep on zooming in on your area. You can go down as far as
    street level... It won't show street addresses, but it will get you
    very close to where you are.

    Now try it. Those of you who put yourself in the wrong place, let me
    know, and I will delete you so you can add yourself in the right
    place.

    Christine

    Okay, here's a question. How do you get the name
    of your town to show. For instance, when you are zoomed
    out about 3/4 of the way you can no longer see Pittsburgh
    in the southwestern PA area. Yet you can see Hempfield
    (a small town way out in the country). That seems odd.
    I seems to me that you ought to be able to see the major
    cities when you are zoomed way out but only see the small
    towns when you are fairly close in, so I thought maybe someone
    fixed it so their town would show! If so, how do you do that?

    In any case, Pittsburgh is a major city and should show at
    all distances! I'm actually in Turtle Creek, a suburb of
    Pittsburgh, but I don't care that much if it shows (and,
    wow, do you have to get way in before Turtle Creek comes up
    at all) but Pittsburgh should definitely show instead of
    Hempfield. Sheesh! ;-)

    There is no Pittsburgh. Were you not notifed that Pittsburg was cancelled?
    Only the small towns and suburbs still exist.

    Thanks for the links; particularly the second one. Malta looks soo special
    to me. I have a limey friend (probably in his 70's) whose father is buried
    in Malta. I know not of the circumstance; the personal history was private.
    I've always imagined Malta more intriguing than "Casablanca."
    Thanks,

    It's all good -- all Malta is good! Food good, history good, landscape
    good, architecture good. There are places where I've enjoyed and would
    recommend to others, but I know you must've really liked it by your comment,
    '...in a heartbeat.' I heard the affection.
    Thanks.
