Cause really, who hasn't played around with Google Maps. There's this nifty page that uses Google Maps software to allow groups to add pins to the map showing where they are. US residents get to put in their ZIP code whereas those of us in the rest of the world have to hope our city is in the list. I made a map for Flare here. Lets see where everyone is from!

I almost thought I couldn't add myself. Well, yes, I could.

According to the map, Omega lives in a wildlife park. I point and laugh at the good Tennessean.

If you think Google Maps are cool, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Check out Google Earth, possibly the coolest thing I have yet come across on the Internet. It is truly a great age of information when I can download a (damned near) complete photographic representation of MY ENTIRE PLANET down to the city block FOR FREE.

(You have to use Windows XP, though.)

Over at Subspace Comms Network one of the members set up a similar map. Better though because you can pick exactly where you are located.

Which ironically seems to be down at the moment...

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

Given that neither Waterloo, Ontario or Mississauga, Ontario appear to exist..I had to settle for Toronto, Ontario. But I protest at the sudden destruction of my university and hometown.

OK, so do you have to 'subscribe' to this thing or just add your name and place. When I click the "not in US" link - it does nothing.

Hmm, when I zoom in on my marker, it's about as far from me as it's possible to get within my specified locale. Bonus.

Dunno, but I was disappointed to learn that if you zoom in on LOA in the satellite view, she's not sprawled out like in her snapshot...

My pin is, like, 400yds from me.

Don't complain. Mine is around 15 km away... but still within the city.
