Brain cramp here, where is the link to our members map 




I started using Pinmaps.net to mark New York Riders.Brain cramp here, where is the link to our members map![]()
This looks like it would work but I only played with it for a few minutes. Couple of questions if you know the answers:I started using Pinmaps.net to mark New York Riders.
We've been waiting over a month for them to restore the gallery and map...from what I've gathered is we tell Mo and he tells the IT guys....This looks like it would work but I only played with it for a few minutes. Couple of questions if you know the answers:
1) I'm assuming we have the same admins on the new site as the old one etc.
2) Looks like the map itself can be shared but people cannot add their own pins so maybe all the admins would have edit capability and make this a sticky etc.
3) Did not see a way to do a mass import from a file but maybe that is an option(be easier on the admins)
All in all worth a try if people are interested and willing.
Note: You could give a specific or general address just like before.
Could be true. I sort of missed that because even for an IT guy I think the following message is a little vague.I believe you can let anyone pin the map. Its a option when you share the map.
OK. I tried. I had to type in the link since it was just a picture. It will not let me pin unless I login.Could be true. I sort of missed that because even for an IT guy I think the following message is a little vague.
Anyway, can someone try the link and post back?
I'm not saying to use this map because maybe one of the official admins wants to make it(and probably name it something different...) but once we do it we would have proof of concept and could go forward.
From a standards standpoint(poor sentence there...) I'd suggest we use the same pointers as the original map(blue=boy, pink=girl and green= you don't want to disclose or cannot tell like Pat from SNL)
It told me "user didn't exist" and wanted me to log in to create a map. Hope you can get this to work, miss the map.OK. I tried. I had to type in the link since it was just a picture. It will not let me pin unless I login.
Once I created my account, i just went back and clicked your link and it did allow me to add myself to your map.My mistake. I didn't actually share the map. Sorry.
But, yes, you will need to create an account to add a map pointer. It's quick and easy.
Tested under another id but again if someone can try the link and 2nd that it works we can send an email to one on the admins and see how they want to proceed. Maybe we could get it added under the quick links section...

I believe they are doing this one for all the board members, so I'm sure it's fine. The one I did was for specific location in the Mid Atlantic section of the forums.I pinned my location.. I am not anywhere near you guys.. Just wanted to see how it worked.. but hope it's ok.
