07SGT5687 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Not meaning to be critical, I just think it would be really cool to actually see the distribution of everyone on an actual map. Looks to me like frappr is in the crapper. Anyone know of any other sites that can do this? EDIT: Wiki says Frappr is "down since 2010". I was looking around and it looks like one called Umapper.com is pretty cool. I think it's free. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyburd33 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I agree, there should be a better way to see where we all are. There are probably a lot of Shelby owners or TS members closer to us than we really know. I didn't like the frappr map to begin with. I don't think it's very user friendly.

I could post up a dummy one from Umapper or the other one I mentioned. And then if folks (and admin) like it I can just transfer it to whomever is 'managing' that. Just let me know.

07SGT5687 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hmmmm... I made up a quick dummy on on Umapper, but it doesn't appear that this forum supports the ways they allow it to be embedded. I guess just a link would work, but it would be cool to see the map on the forum post. I'll what the other one can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5687 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Dang, well so far I have 2 good lookin' options but I can't get either of them to actually embed on the forum thread. Did frappr used to do that? Or was there just a link? Here is a link to both of them so far. I think I like the Zeemaps on better. Someone else try and make some entries and see which on is easier/better. TeamShelby at Zeemaps.com TeamShelby at Umapper.com BTW, if I'm overstepping my bounds, someone just tell me. I don't want to step on admin's feet. I just got a little carried away once I saw how some of these other sites work (operative word being "work")....

dsastang67 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Zeemaps is way better!! I would go with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5687 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 okay.... getting a few responses here. What say you moderators? Can we swap this into the MAP thread? If we post up the update, everyone that has "subscribed" at one point should get the notification and will hopefully come back around to put up a "pin". What do ya think? I can transfer the account over to the mod team somehow too if you want.... or you can just start a new one and I'll delete this one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT5687 Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 So who moderates the section that the maps thread is in? Looks like we already have a handful of successfully placed pins so it must be working! Is it okay with everyone if we try and REBOOT the place yourself on the map thread?

07SGT5687 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 El Paso TX added to zeemaps, the other one's down... again. Ya, Frappr is down permanently as far as what I've read. Looks like we've got a good sampling so far... 10 pins. Lookin' good. Any comments or issues with it so far? If not, how do we get this on the previous map thread and reboot this? If we just update the 1st post of the original map thread with this link and post "UPDATE" all those subscribed should see that they can come back and "pin up", right? So who can facilitate the update? Or who Mods that section rather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT5687 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I see the Black SGT guys have found a way to color coordinate their pin markers... nice (or at least I assume it's the BSGT folks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4KINGS Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm on in Pineville, Louisiana. It was easy with the Zmap. I tried lots of times on the old map, no luck. This one was easy, cool to see where everyone is. Thanks for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5687 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Sweet. Glad it's working... even for you poor Antarcticans... Still no luck on rebooting the 'Put yourself on the map' thread though. I still think that would be great to reel all the previous posters back in and get everyone back up on the grid!
