Google Map for N12

[THG]

The Mothies have created a Google Map for their members - looks pretty cool;

Add your usual sailing location to our Google map. Include your name and if possible email address. Account name and password below...

Can we set up a N12 map using our NTOA mail address to link to a new Google account - would be cool to see where all the 12s are sailing now - link to the N12 boatdatabase too??

THG - Great idea! For a start, I have made a new map on your entry - hope you don't mind!

Jim N3470 and N3130
Ammersee Bavaria Germany. Echingersegelclub. Hope you can find it!

Link is following:

You might want to see the Echingersegelclub from the air, although the satellite photo's a bit old - we've got more space now:

Jim - oops - the Map site given was for the Moths!!!  Not sure how you remove it!!!!

I was just suggesting we set up a similar - not my idea directly just plagerising others!!!

The good thing about Google is that you can add in locations around the Globe plus you can use for directions to venues etc

[Jeremy C]

Like the idea, would be useful to know where people are1

The Musto Skiffs have a similar map too....

Boing - can we do this now we have the N12 Gill map up and running?  I think we need to register the N12 NTOA email address to use the map site.

So far I've got the Gill Series, Burton wk and Coaching events on Google maps. I'd like to get all the events in calendar - I think that would help people new to the fleet to work our where some of the opens are.

I like the idea of a members map. The big challenge is going to be ensuring it is kept up to date as peopel move house / leave the class. I wonder if we could link it to the profiles on the discussion board or something . . .

Will have to think about that . . .

Graham,
              This is possible but i would say that the ppl who wrote the fourm will be able to do it much easier than we can, i can look into it for you( tho my course in webdesign hasnt got that far yet).



Cheers

My assumption would be that the users just go in and registere their details, the Moth fleet seem to do it this way - I think the initial issue is that you have to register an email address thats not a personal one (although that could be done).

Ideally this helps people see where the active fleets are - so the location should be which Clubs we normally sail at.  I know a few don't have a home Club but these are a minority.

Even if we notice other N12s at Clubs but are not NTOA members or active on the forum the details could be posted up.
