Citadelian Map - Where are you?
#1The original, quoted, still works. But we have moved on to bigger and better things. Post your google link if you want me to add it. I will eventually upgrade it to a form so it will be automatic, but a little too busy on V2.0 to mess with that at the moment. Very easy and quick for me to manually update so will do it that way for now.

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:
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.)

'Ware the popups, but a fun little toy none-the-less. Post yourself up there so we can figure out where everybody is from.

#2Why did I not recive a flag? Did I do something wrong, did i place my little man in the water? What if he is drowning? -
Citadelian Map - Where are you?
#3I am in the water too, no worries. There was a choice to add a flag when you put your person on the map. Do you want me to delete you so you can do it again? -

#4It is okay strolen, I would not want you to be worried by such petty matters.

#24Dont feel too bad. I used to live in Maine, of couse I left and moved down the coast to warmer waters. Where I can dance in the rain all year round if the desire to do so takes me. -

#25You know, we could take this to a near scary extreme.
http://earth.google.com/
Now, I don't suggest that people put in their exact home coordinates (because with those we can look up your mailing address and find your name), but their local landmark or civic center might not be a bad idea?
You can find me by looking at the google main campus and scrolling down to Sunnyvale or up to Stanford. -

Re: Citadelian Map - Where are you?
#31Hmmm..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 -

Re: Citadelian Map - Where are you?
#32Everybody 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. -
Re: Citadelian Map - Where are you?
#33Oh 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! -
