Google Map

Just added another feature. This one is kind of cool and it allows you to see where the people are that you are chatting with. Who knows you may find someone that lives right next to you!

But to see it you can go to Googlemap on the navigation bar or just click Googlemap

To enter your location just navigate by clicking and dragging the map and zooming in until you find where you live. You can be specific as you want. You can mark it right on your house or just mark your town.

To enter your mark just click the button. Then just enter a short description like "My house" or whatever you want.

Then there you go your location is entered.

Aaron...this is neat! My problem is that I entered my information but it is not showing on the map. Does it take awhile to show up or should it show immediately?

I see you there. You just need to hit reload map when you are done to see it, or just refresh your browser. If you check now it should be there.

Very Cool!

Thanks Aaron,

Cool feature. This must be an older map cause my street isn't on the map so I stuck myself on the dead end where my street would be LOL

Nice to see where everyone is at

Widdlecuddles - how did you get it to show streets? I put my location to the closest city.

I figured it out - I didn't zoom in enough - I have updated my info. It didn't move me very far. This is just too cool!
