How to use the map... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Ok You see a link to "Map" on the navigation bar at the top. It's a big map with markers for each member. To add your marker, you will need to find out your lattitude and longitude.

Here's how to do that:

Go to: http://www.maporama.com
Input your address and map it.
On the left column, there will be an "Information" section with your Lat and Long. The 2 numbers on the second line are the ones you input.

Is the map supposed to come up automatically when I use the map link, Halx?
I input my info and I still don't see a map. Even after a few minutes.
I probably farked it up, somehow.

Find better coordinates and edit your location!

Make sure you're using the numbers on the second line.

You can also click on the map and gradually zoom in until you pinpoint your location. It seems to have worked for me.

Chalk me up to not showing on the map as well. I'm listed under users, but don't appear on the map

Charlatan · 06-05-2006, 10:45 AM

I think it is because you don't see yourself on the map. I don't see myself on the big map but I see everyone else. I also see myself when I click on "Your Entry".
