Title: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 17, 2006, 23:24:35 pm In the thread about where every one is from, I mentioned doing a Frappr map for the site.
I talked to our hosts, Bibbe, JHU and Beetlebug about the idea and they gave me the OK to do so. Frappr for those of you that are not familiar is a mapping web site that allows you to stick a "pushpin" in the map so you can see where everyone in the group lives. Since the Lounge is such an international site, I think that this would be a lot of fun. You do have to register for the site but it doesn't cost anything. Our site is at http://www.frappr.com/?a=showmap2&mapid=2825327 So please sign up and put your pin on the map!

I can't believe that Olaf in Germany and Jelle in Belgium are the Cal-Look freaks that live the closest to me... ;) Or that there's only me and El Diablo Gris in California. Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: lowfastbus on October 19, 2006, 22:07:11 pm Probably Jordy,

Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Frank LUX on October 20, 2006, 12:42:42 pm Hey Rick,

Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 14:53:38 pm hmmmm.... I don't know if that can be done. I see if I can figure it out.
Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 15:02:15 pm Ok... I added a pin for places. Now I gotta figure out where to place them!
It can be done. If you guys have any other requested places, let me know and I'll try to accomdate you. Right now, OCIR and Nabisco are on the list. Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 15:46:04 pm OK OCIR and Nabisco are on the map. I also added Nick's.
Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Frank LUX on October 20, 2006, 15:53:53 pm Bitburg Raceway in Germany would be cool too...
Frank Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 15:59:14 pm Bitburg Raceway in Germany would be cool too... Frank That's a little outside my field of reference. Could someone help me pinpoint it? Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Frank LUX on October 20, 2006, 16:01:32 pm That's the Place where the DasDragDay is held!!! Town is Bitburg, it's the old US Air Force Airbase...in Germany...
Frank Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 16:18:08 pm I think I found it... I just searched around Bitburg in Google Earth and found an airport. Could you check where I put it and let me know? Best way is to zoom in as far as it will let you in hybrid mode.
Unfortunately, Frappr uses Yahoo Maps which doesn't have the detail of Google Earth. I just copied over the GPS coordinates into Frappr. Thanks, Rick Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 16:23:14 pm By the way, we're up to 35 pins. 31 Users and 4 Places.

I'll take the "?" off of the name.
I found out that I can add pins to the map directly. So if you want, you can PM me with your location and I can addyou to the map. Rick Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Frank LUX on October 20, 2006, 16:48:22 pm I'm already in the Map...i think ???
Frank Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 20, 2006, 16:51:46 pm Yep, you're there. I just meant for others.
Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: jick on October 20, 2006, 17:46:32 pm okay, so i just added two places!
one for where each of my cars are stored, both about 130 miles from my house..... :( Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: ZaNy on October 21, 2006, 02:46:51 am finally i'm on the map.. ;D

Like every student I'm unfortunately on a tight budget. :( I'm trying to get my split running this winter for Bad Camberg 2007 next year. And I'd also like to convert my Oct '67 into a looker, which gonna cost a couple of bucks. It's hard to divide my attention and money between the splitwindow and the looker-to-be... Ach ja... alles komt goed.. ;) Title: Re: Frappr Map - Update Post by: Rick Meredith on October 22, 2006, 08:52:26 am We have 46 pins. 7 Locations and 39 Members.
Just added Chimay... home of the European Bug-in... wish I could go! Title: Frappr Update Post by: Rick Meredith on October 25, 2006, 22:01:02 pm We've got 51 pins on our map. 8 are locations and 43 are Members so we have a little over 10% of our 415.

Title: Re: Frappr Map Post by: Rick Meredith on October 26, 2006, 19:23:48 pm Maybe there was a problem with their server?
