SMF Push Pin Map

[thoseguys26]

I didn't take the time to read thru all the pages but can we update a link and if this is still going on? thanks

That old pushpin map is no longer supported. I made this one a while back on Google maps. It's pretty easy and likely will stay up, as it's directly on Google. I think there are 70 some of us on there so far. It's a lot easier to see where everyone is if you click on "map" instead of "satellite" or "hybrid" in the upper right.

Here ya go....

Weird, it doesn't seem to be working. Not sure what's going on.

[mdboatbum]

Nope, it's not you. Used to be you just clicked on the map and it would ask you what marker you wanted to place. Won't do it anymore for some reason.

 

[ssfantasea]

That bums me down.  Well, at least it's not me.

Also another good quote.  I will have to remember that.

(Yeah right.... I can't even remember where I put my keys.)

Wha kind of boat do you have?

That's a really pretty boat.

At the moment I have a little orphaned Catalina 22 a buddy and I got for free from a lady moving out west. It had sat for a number of years and was full of rain water, but is in pretty decent shape. It started out as a one day project, that has morphed into a "One day......" project. As in, we'll get to it one day....

Only major item really left is to install a new keel cable. Easy enough, but it requires lifting the boat about a foot off the trailer. Again, easy enough, just one of those things that keeps getting put on the back burner.

When I coined the name "Mdboatbum", I was living aboard an old tub of a Columbia 8.3 meter. Great boat, which I got rid of in favor of a Columbia 9.6 meter. Another great boat, but we didn't "click". Always regretted getting rid of the 8.3, and it's predecessor, my very first sailboat, a Columbia 8.7.

I've since moved ashore, but spring and sailing weather is just around the corner and distant shores are calling. As soon as i get to that damn keel cable. And the wiring. and re-sewing the mainsail cover. And the new impeller for the outboard. And new bearings and tires for the trailer. And the......oh well, I'll get to it one day....

 

[ssfantasea]

I understand!  I went to the boat yard one weekend for a month!

 

[ssfantasea]

Anyway ..... back to the freakin map.  How does one work the push pin part of the map?

I think you need the map set up as Collaborators,

So you need to invite collaborators via email.

I've been playing around with one today.

OK, I fixed it. Basically just had to go into the admin page and refresh it. It should work fine now.
