Being the nosey bugger that I am, I do have a look at peoples profiles to see where they are from, as it is helpful to know if you are talking to a Northern Monkey, or a Softy Southerner, so you may steer your conversation around whippets and pigeons or Art gallaries and sushi.

I did see that there was a map for bird sitting duties, but I have never been able to get it to work.

I've just had a n idea........................

[lizduncan]

I couldn't get the map to work either but haven't tried in ages. I'm perth, Scotland 

[karen (bella;s mum)]

Im right by Hampton Court palace, royalty you see       

[MattH BSc]

I'm not sure if this will work, as I have never tried to do this before, but I have created a Google map, I have allowed anybody to edit the map, so you should be able to put where you live, you dont have to be too specific if you don't want to, or have security issues with doing so.

The map is not public so the only place the URL is known is here, I could restrict the privacy settings more, but would then need to add peoples  email addresses to the list and only people on the list can view.

Let me know if it works, add yourself if you want, don't if you don't want to......

I've shared a map with you called AGPC Members Map:

[lizduncan]

Me neither. Matt how do we add little markers for where we are?

There was a little blue marker that I dragged onto the map for myself, I will have a look.........

[MattH BSc]

right, I think the link pasted slightly wrong, I have removed the space and it should take you to the right place now.

There should be an edit button, shown in the pic below, click on that, it will then let you drag a marker to your location and put a note next to it etc.

thats far too complex for me (and i know that without even having tried it)
i live in Barnsley South Yorkshire, i have no whippet or pigeons but i did grow up on the street where Kez was filmed and all our dads were miners LOL

[lizduncan]

Still can't add me. The edit button doesn't appear, is this becasue I'm not logged in maybe?

[Tracy jojo,s mum]

Hi jonesy, im from donny, and my dad was a miner too!!!..we also never had pigeons or a whippet either, nor did my dad wear a flat cap!

[Nikki]

I have added mine     Good idea Matt

[lizduncan]

How Nikki? still can't get it to work 

[Nikki]

Just by doing what Matt said.  I clicked the link he posted and then the edit button   

[karen (bella;s mum)]

[karen (bella;s mum)]

Nope, definately not an edit button on mine

You need to either log in or create an account Karen

I think you may have to e logged on to google maps, its easy to set an account up. I am not an expert by any means, like I said its the first time I have done one of these, so its a case of trial and error, but some people have managed to add their location.

It might also be a good idea to add locations and contact details of suppliers / avain vets that you would recommend.
