| | | I don't know why I can't seem to figure out how to put a darn pin on the map. If someone could do Pittsburgh for me I'd appreciate it.

| | | If anyone else would like me to add a placemark for them, just PM me. If you can give me a street address it would be great, otherwise just the city, state, country. |

| | Unfortunately - it's real easy to drag a pin out of place when 'scrolling' around by dragging the whole map. No 'undo' feature for that either. I goofed up Dave's pin - and tried to fix it. 
If you haven't tried it yet - check out the map/satellite buttons The maps are better for figuring out where you are - but the satellite pics are much cooler to look at.

| | It took me a while but I finally figured it out, so have just placed my pin.
I spent about an hour last night trying to do it on Mozilla but it wouldn't give me access even though I had created a google account - it kept going on about cookies and I kept trying to do what it asked to fix the problem but with no luck. I finally thought of using Explorer and voila, I was able to get to the map and stick my pin on. I nearly didn't save the changes but it warned me so all was OK.
This computer stuff can be rather tricky at times - the low blood sugar (50) didn't help me either! At least I finally met with success.

| | Just been playing around with streetview. Quite amazing. In the context of the member's pins, it's like taking a stroll in your 'hood.
It might be more interesting to first be in satellite imagery mode. get down nice and close to where you want to be. What you do is drag the little "man" icon. The streets with streetview light up in blue. A dotted circle appears below him: drop this onto one of the defined street lines.
Once in streetview, you can pan around with the controls in upper left corner, and click on the arrows down the street to "travel". Really like one of those ancient computer adventure games, if anyone know what I am talking about
Some places have it a lot, some have it some, some sadly not at all. I was looking forward to a stroll through Dubai or checking out near Dave's, but no luck. I have enjoyed wandering around Jan and Penny's neighbourhood a bit, though, so far. I may well have questions for people as if I'd come around for a wander
