Never Knows Best
Dear All,
I have made an editable map for members of our community. Follow the link and it will take you to the map. Add the map to "My Places" and click the "Edit" button. Click on "Add a placemark" button and drag the placemarker to a desired location as simple as that. I urge you not to put the exact address just somewhere in the vicinity.
Lets try to stick to the default placemarker please because the others may be hard to see. Change the color to your preference. When placing a marker dialog window pops up. Put your forum screen name as title
Below are detailed directions (I apologize for my poor computer drawing skills ):
Step 0: Login into your google account.
Step 1: Follow the link to the map. The map will open and you can add it to "My Places" too bookmark the map. Click on "Edit" button.
