Enjoy!

The map may be too wide for some viewers if you have your screen resolution set too low. We may end up making it smaller.

If you are experiencing problems, simply post here and describe your problem. I'll check into it asap.

I love these maps. If only we could force all members to enter their information...

[Sonnie]

The new version is now up...

As always... use caution in pinpointing your exact location. You can mark it dead on your house or mark it on your neighbors house, a nearby landmark, etc.

Maybe the Googlemap Me link under the avatar will get more people thinking about it.
