Where are you, flutherite?
I have created a google map that I was hoping would be editable by all, but I may not be doing it right, in which case I am hoping someone here can correct me. I was looking for a visual representation of where everyone lives. In my case, I added a spot at Athens, GA, USA and called that spot “playthebanjo”. I would love to see a visual distribution of those in the collective!

I’m not seeing how to add a “hot spot” (cool idea, btw)
I am not sure I set it up right, but sign in to google then see if it did anything? I set it up in the preferences that anyone could edit the map….does anyone know how to make this work?
do you see a “collaborate” button on the left?
Yep, but it just seems to show the options you selected.
what does it show?
hope you have no cavities!
@Harp
Zoom in on the map, then you’ll see the pin that you can click and drop on your location.
If you can see sn edit button, when you click it the pin should show up too
@wildflower: were you able to drop yourself into the map?
I dropped a pin on Pomona ca
were you able to save the map cheebdragon? all I see on mine is still my lonely pin.
Wildflower, what did you have to do to do it? sign in, zoom in, drop pin, save? or is there more?
1. Sign in
2. Click ‘edit’ (next to collaborate)
3. Zoom in on your location
4. Drop a pin and fill in the description
I also added where I’m from, some of ye may never have spotted that speck on the map before ;)
I see that…I added where I am from too…some of you would never have wanted to see that. LOL
I’m on my iPhone, someone drop a pin in Pomona ca for me and save it please?!?
Which part of CA is that? ( I wouldn’t know where to zoom)
I live in Temecula, CA but at this moment I’m on the 101 in downtown LA.
I’ve added mine in the general area of where I supposedly live :)
This is an awesome project! Thanks for participating!
everybody gets cool lurve from me for adding on to the map!
Totally awesome ;) nice idea to.
Ive been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but didnt really know how and didnt feel like looking into it cause im lazy. Thanks for making it banjo. ^__^
Im feeling pretty lonely on the east coast. :(
I’ll have to do this from home. I only see a blank map. I think this is a great idea!
You feel lonely uberbatman? try zooming out a bit more…..
haha fair point, why do you have 2 locations?
You and I can be the Jersey blips uber!
Gotta promote that little speck on the map I call ‘back home’ ;)
Can I be in your Jersey gang since I’m going to see Bon Jovi tomorrow?
Ewww Bon Jovi. I try to pretend we arent from the same place ^__^
You might be starting intercontinental warfare with those words, uberbatman
Oi! uberbatman!!! They’re only my heros since I was 12 – how dare you?!?
and yes, playthebanjo, my mission is to mention them on every question today :P
It’s okay wildflower…I know you are quivering with excitement.
wildflower , you can be in my gang anytime!!
ok i totally can’t figure this out. so if someone could be kind enough to save Abilene Tx?
Oh stop! haha…...besides, any excuse to zoom in on TX :)
funny…most people want to zoom OUT of Texas. (just kidding)
This has to be one of the best ideas I’ve seen recently. Great job Banjo!
I put a pin directly on my house =P
I am trying to hit that 1,000 lurve. Glad it worked out! Thanks for participating!
I know there is no way to keep questions from falling into obscurity on the main page…feel free to tell your flutherfriends about this link in case they missed it. : )
Ah haha my plan is now complete Eambos. I’ll see you later on tonight ;)
This is a really great idea. It’s really fascinating to see all the places flutherites communicate from!
What if we have 2 houses?
are they in the same city?
nope, the other one is in murrieta CA
Pomona and Murrieta are only about 60 miles apart. I think that can count as one location.
If you fluther from both locations maybe you should put them in?
all added. I must say a very poor performance from the Irish collective.
What if there’s a revolution, us Irish will be wiped out. Oh the worry.
Fabulous Idea PTB. Great work.
**Hugs.**
manly ones obviously
yea, where are the leprechauns and their rainbow escape routes when you need them??
manly my…..!! I saw the groping!
Off flogging the HSC’s medical supplies again I think. Oh how it all makes sense now.
@playthebanjo
I humbly and deeply apologize for the bottom of my very apologetic heart for the groping. It won’t happen again. I feel so bad I simply can’t express it in words. Thanks for putting me right wildflower, I’m gonna stand in the corner for an hour to think about what I did.
(sob sob)
You’re just standing in the corner hoping playthebanjo will return the favor :P
shhh, you’ll give the game away.
I am not sure I followed all that but I gave you lurve anyway. : )
Thanks for everyone who added themselves to the map! As I feared, once the question falls off the page it pretty much fades into obscurity.
I think this could be a sticky thread if those existed on fluther.
Yay – I’m on the map!
The collective has been tapped, my friends!
Sadly i cannot add myself to the map , i don’t see these options . i am signed into google
@sandystrachan I just tried to go to the map to see if I could help you out, but the old fluther map with all of the members’ locations tagged seems to have disappeared. That link just opens up an “untitled” map with no marked locations on it. It would be a shame if all of that work has vanished. Is everyone else seeing the same thing?
@Harp Yep, map is gone it seems.
Aww boo. The map is gone and I am sad.
