Add your photo/shout/location to the map. The only problem with it
being that non americans can only put in their nearest city. Still cool
though.

I tried to add myself to Dundee as it is marked on the map, but it
wouldn't let me. So I then changed to Edinburgh, but then it wouldn't
upload my photo :S Oh well, at least I'm up :smile: Would be cool if we get
a good number of us up there - interesting to see a visual
representation of our worldly distribution.

Very true. Not too many US mappers, relative to the European force.

And I wonder why there isn't any Asian mappers at all (people who actually live in Asia). Perhaps it has something to do with the English-based mapping community that SnarkPit is.

Such a big continent, so many people, but so few mappers.

How is that freaky? You put in an address, right? If no one knew where your exact recidence was you'd never get mail.

What would make it freaky is if that was a photo ... which it, obviously, isn't ... unless you're in that part of Texas.

Figures. Take a look at an area that wasn't developed a year or two ago, it should be an older image (of a few years). Since, I believe the new ones aren't disclosed ... or something.

Thanks. Yeah I would change my name to something shorter, but I made

in case you're wondering, I didn't know Sephiroth was a FF character.
If I had known that I would have chose another name. I hate FF. Please

I think it has a lot to do with when the picture was taken. Technology now is a bit better.

I zoomed in to where I live. The picture is obviously old because some key landmarks are missing. I know this because its sparsely populated enough to recognize building placement. The shot was probably 2 to 5 years old.

Just a theory.

I don't think that is his concern though - it's the fact that both
services are run by Google, yet one is of much higher quality than the
other. Around my area both seem identical, haven't really done
comparisons elsewhere.
