Frapper-Map: where in the world are you?

[gmaharriet]

I just zoomed in on myself for the first time. The postal code is correct, but they have me right on the runway of a small planes airport about a mile south of me. I'd better watch out for low-flying aircraft.

 

[Mirc]

I added myself!

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I added myself too.

 

[Bartleby]

So did I, a couple of days ago.

 

[Maniacal]

There havn't been anymore Canadians added for a long time... Come on! Don''t be shy! We know you are there!

 

[shortguy]

Added.

It actually didn't miss my house by that much, interestingly.

 

[Truronian]

Is there a way to move your tag? When I added it last year my hometown wasn't recognised (So I went for the nearest one), but now it is...

create truronianII maybe?

 

[Truronian]

create truronianII maybe?

It would actaully be Truronian III...

1) Put in Cornwall, Canada
2) Put me in Plymouth (Devon )
3) Would finally put me in my actual place of residence, aka Truro.

I'm not gonna bother because I'll be hitting uni soon, and thats way upcountry.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

I came across this and added myself. I'm not sure if I hit the exact house, but it should be within 50 metres.

Truronian, you should be able to edit your profile and add an exact marker. That's what I did.

 

[Truronian]

Well, I tried re-adding myself, hoping that the website would reposition me, but alas, no . There are now three Truronians on the map. If there is an admin for the map (Xen maybe?) would it be possible to delete the Plymouth and Canada Truronians, for they are imposters!

I added myself. I don't even know my neighbrhood well enough to say how cloes they got me, as I only have lived there a month and leave only for work and church. But they got the city (Arlington, VA) right.

 

[Tycoon101]

Wow, I live near a lot of CFCers.

I won't add my place though, because I dislike giving away my location at any given moment.

Well, you're probably in the wrong neighborhood, because you currently live in Four Mile Run, the creek. Mine's way off, it says I live in the hospital. I'm pretty sure I don't.

 

[madviking]

They put me a horse pasture...

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I'm in a cemetery.

 

[Till]

I'm in a cemetery.

I didn't realize they have internet in cemeteries. Very forward thinking. Lying in a coffin for the rest of eternity might get a little boring on the long run.

Edit: It put me on the wrong side of the Elbe.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Now that i've zoomed in i realised i was put either in the cemetery too. Or maybe the muslim cemetery...
Either that or on the railroad tracks near the train station.

It's preety hard to tell since i can only aproximate with the far away shoreline. How did you guys see where exactly you are ? ...
(They probably drew more stuff on the map in America & Brit )

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Are you clicking on 'Sat' on the right hand side of the map. It switches to a more detailed view.

You are near some railway tracks though, in what looks like a garden.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

First of all one question :
Is it normal for the map to move by itself in radnom directions and after several minutes in which the darn thing reaches europe to center itself at a random time back in america ?

Second, and on topic : I didn't even see that button. .They seem to have put me near the railroad tracks. I think some small houses are supposed to be there ... or smthing. Or maybe just grass ... i'm living outdoors.
