Hi members,

Feel free to post great photo spots to share with other members.

PLEASE TITLE THE THREAD STARTING WITH A CITY (Example) - Montreal - Mont Royal

Then in the thread, do all the explaining you like, post pics and feel free to mark your spots on a Google Map and include pics there too. Member Iguanasan already started a Google map for us to use. :highfive:Photography.ca photo spots - Google Maps (http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&t=h&msa=0&msid=110894644208309609901.000481fda4bcc6270f178&ll=44.652917,-63.572688&spn=0.009037,0.01929&z=16)

I re-edited the title (hope that's cool Iggy) to make it more generic to our board. IF I can find a better way to integrate google maps with VB (the engine that runs our board) I'll take a look shortly.

Feel free to continue to PM me on this setup if you have additional suggestions.

Many Thanks!

Marko

:thankyou: Iggy...question...how does one add a marker to it?

First, create a GMail account if you don't already have one. It's a handy thing to have regardless. Next click on the map link and after you get there find the "Sign in" link in the upper right corner and sign in with your GMail account.

Once you are signed in you should notice an [Edit] button on the left hand panel. Click it an you'll be in edit mode. Find your spot on the map and click on the blue pushpin. When you do that a pushpin will "stick to your cursor". Move it to your specific location and click again to drop it on the map. You can add more and/or move them around. Then click [Done] in the left hand panel when you are finished editing.

Does all this make sense or should I do a video?
