Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
I know that there have been a couple of earlier attempts at a RedsZone pin map that ultimately fell by the wayside due to vandalism or limitations of the system. I came across a new site offering free group-pinnable maps that use Google Maps as the base map and figured it would be fun to try this again.
This one is simple. You enter your RedsZone username and zip code and the system puts a pin in the center of your zip code. There is also a field for "shoutouts." I don't have any clever ideas for how to use shoutouts, but don't post anything there that you wouldn't be allowed to post here. The vandalism on the previous versions drained the fun out of this effort, so as a pre-emptive measure: Mean-spirited, provocative shoutouts and fake member entries can and will lead to a member entry being deleted. Feel free to PM me or update this thread if you see anything problematic on the map. http://www.frappr.com/redszone Last edited by paintmered; 10-26-2005 at 01:29 PM. Reason: Updated slightly to reflect limitations of map admin capabilities. |

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
11 pins already!
There is an option to re-center the map on a zip code, so I chose 45202, the zip code for GABP. I also zoomed in the default view to about a 1-state radius around GABP to better resolve the folks who live within a few hours drive of Cincinnati. |

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
I'm lonely all the way down there by myself.

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
It said my zip code was invalid. So I put in a nearby zip. Same city, but wrong side of the I-10 interstate.

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
Doh, apparently the shoutouts don't overwrite, but rather add to each other.
So mine are a little redundant.

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
Mine says St. Mary's, IN, but I don't think they would let me go there.

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
I think a creating a vbulletin mod using google maps is very possible.

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
Mine says "Lockland, OH" based on the fact that part of my zip code is in Lockland, but that's definitely not where I live.

Re: Another Attempt at a RedsZone locator pin map
Mine says Parkdale while I actually live in Forest Park, but that's just a minor quibble.
