Moon, Moon, Moon.

Just when you thought it was safe.

Of course Google has an API that allows you to import their maps and make your own overlays!!! And of course there are a multitude of people that make those API's even easier to use. So of course, when I stumbled upon it quite on accident, I had to throw it up really quick.

This is the script I am using and it is a VERY simple interface. The most important instructions for me adding people is this:

Quote

To add a marker on your map, go to maps.google.com, double-click on the point you want to mark on your map and click on "Link to this page". Note: you must double-click or drag the map, not just search for an address. Now copy the resulting URL

and paste it here and I will add it. You can also add a few lines of text like I did. Once there are more people in it I will remove the auto opened bubble so that you have to click on it to see information.

(For those that dug down to see where I live, I put myself on Little Rock AFB which is about 8 miles from Cabot. That large building is really where I work though. Thought it was more interesting to look at then a freeway and a few buildings in downtown Cabot.)

(The Secret Hideout is located in Larvik, Norway by the way)

Norway, the last free piece of european soil. The rest has been devoured by the six headed beast, the EU. :p

Aaaaaah! Darn those lacking map descriptions in backwater locations like Slovakia! Will add myself when I have the time to find where I actually am...

*leaves cursing the world, likely ending up in Munich the other day*

Hmmm..I think this thread has been here for while, and since I don't see any of those britons on the map anymore, I'm thinking that perhaps the only mapped people are the uberstrolenites.....but just in case you're taking submissions, I humbly submit my street to you -

Everybody is welcome on the map, just a matter of receiving links such as yours.

On the todo list to automate it. Fairly simple, just haven't gotten around to it.

Oh btw, I didn't think of this at first, but if you see this again, then could you add the line "Abandoned Castle" under my name?

thanks for putting it up!

See the first post for the instructions on how to get the URL.

What a bunch of crap.

Maps have came a long way and instead of coding my own, there are plenty of google map plugins which I will avail myself to in 3.0.
