Thanks for organizing this Robespierre, it's fun to see where folks are from.

Glad you like it!

Agreed - wonderful idea!

where is the Edit button?

At the top right of the lower left-hand panel. Did you see the * above?

Cool, thanks Robes!

Great - thanks robespierre!

Very cool. Thx!

PS: How did you create the link? I'd like to do one for my upcoming cruise.

Thanks,

Never mind, I figured it out. ;)

Hi Robespierre,

Well, I thought I figured it out. I tried to set up a map for my fellow cruise passengers; however, it doesn’t seem to be working. I copied your instructions for them to add their placemark, but only mine shows.

Could you please tell me how you created the fodorland map so I could see what step(s) I might have missed?

Thanks!!

Monica ((F))

I fear that describing how to create a map would only confuse them. Which step doesn't work?

Just a suggestion to those who choose to add to the map; please take the time to type in your general location in the "Title" box. I looked at a number of your locations, and you can see the street map/satellite location, but unless you take the time to zoom way out there is no real way of knowing where you are. Just the name of the town in the title box would make things much clearer.

:-)

I'm happy I already have my town in my screen name :-)
Still not many Europeans, come on!

Thanks for this brilliant suggestion, and easy to follow directions.

nice altho don't have a google account yet!
