I made this a public map meaning anyone may add to it. Please put a push pin where you are located and a little text about yourself.

Directions for use:

Click the link above to open the map.

In the search bar enter your location. (You can be as specfic as desired. Right down to the street address or as broad as the city you live in.)

A new "push pin" will appear on the map along with a action window. In this window click "Save to my maps". When you do that a drop down menu will appear asking which map. Select the IBoatsFriends map.

Once done, you are shown a window where you may change the title (Example: Bob's House) and add a few lines of text about yourself.

That's it, your on the IBoat Friends map...



PS: I have already shown my farm. Now maybe when I tell folks I live in a rural area they will understand what I mean.



ATTN: IBoats / Moderators If you folks would like, this can be made a permanent fixture on Iboats, or even placed as its own sticky in the forums. Let me know if you would like to do it or if I can help you set it up. I think it would be very useful for the forum members...

No, didn't realize thats what your sig was about. I wish IBoats would do this and make it permanent.

Used Frapper LONG ago when it came out and can't remember why we didn't like it over the long haul.:confused:

I would hate to see everyone have to switch,:eek: I guess I am a Google fan as it seems easier to me.

The only benefit to the Google Map MAY be that those that are still here and active NOW would all be shown soon.

Thoughts? Frapper? Google?
New pins of all the people still here on the forums?
Old pins of everyone that took the time to do Frapper?

PF

P.S.: I will see about restoring my Frapper and watch to see what people think.

Lester SNB aka Spinner Bait Nut set up the Frapper. SBN was a Moderator here who passed away. He was one of the most loved Moderator's we had had.

The Frapper is his and iboats allowed it as an outside link. There are a few of us that carry it in our signature along with other tributes to our late friend.

Bubba I admire what you have done but I am loyal to our late friend Lester. To feel the passion for this man look in Dockside http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=285764&highlight=sbn

Just don't forget to zoom all the way out and go to the right - you will see where I was born. Satellite shows the exact house.

I "pinned" both of my places on the google map. I had to start an account with them to do it though. Let me try Bob VT's map while I'm feeling confident in my computer skills.:rolleyes:

I don't like to pinpoint my location. Too many head cases on the web who might want to track you down over a stupid forum disagreement.

Hey! Did you notice Kyboy lives in the middle of an intersection?
