Re: [lace] Lace Buddy map
Miriam, If you look in the archives, you'll see that I had the same problem. IIRC, you have to choose US, not international or world, and put in Jerusalem. The problem is not that Israel is so small but that Google maps does not support Israel, although we have a Google office in Tel Aviv. Also, the Google satellite photos are not nearly as detailed as for other parts of the world, although the ones in Google Earth are pretty good now.

I know Israel is s big as a head of a pin on the world map but it has more cities than Just Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. I'll just have to stay where I am since I have no intention of moving from Arad right now bg.

Re: [lace] Lace Buddy map
If you click on Satellite and keep clicking +, you can see a picture of my house, even showing our truck in the park -- which was only ever parked there once, so we know just when the picture was taken. But the red dot is away out in the bike trails and on the other side of Wyland Ditch, which changes name to Cherry Creek when it enters the tourist area. (I would give directions from the dot to our place in a private e-mail, but not in our open archives.) -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where summer is shuffling off the stage. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [lace] Lace Buddy map
Hi Ilske - I thought there was a good way to do this, but when Jo tried it, it didn't work for her. But, here goes, in case you have better luck... Go to the Lace Fairy website and access the Buddy Map through there (if you've already bookmarked the site, your system may have saved old information and what you get will be the sign-in page!). If you already have a dot on the map, go all the way down to the bottom of the list of lacemakers and you should see View my dot. (or words to that effect). It will automatically take you to your dot, and you can click on edit (right beside view my dot), and you'll be able to update or delete your picture and change your comments and other information. I haven't had any trouble adding my photo or updating my information. I hope this works for most people, because I think it's a wonderful idea, and I've enjoyed seeing where most of us are, and also who is near me!

Re: [lace] Lace Buddy map
I have tried twice and it keeps telling me it can't find my address, :-( Sue T Dorset UK Hello Spiders! I have just discovered that Lori Howe has added a new feature to her already incredible website! She has set up a Buddy Map for lacemakers! When you visit the map, you'll see a map of the world. Actually, you see two maps of the world. The top one allows you to explore various countries and see where the lace activity is (or was...) in each country, along with related pictures such as typical pillows and bobbins, and some of their lace. Very interesting. The bottom map is the new addition! You click on that map and get a list of lacemakers around the world. If you select a country instead of the world, you'll see dots that represent individual lacemakers who have added themselves to the map! I added myself yesterday... and so far, the list is very short. But it will be really fun to see the dots multiply on the map!! You don't have to give a lot of information about yourself, but your name and city/state/country is important. I added a picture as well. Go have a look! Lori's website is http://lace.lacefairy.com. From there, go to International on the menu bar, and Map Search is the first option on that pop-up menu. Click that, and then scroll down to the second map. Click that, and you'll see the map with dots! Please do add yourself! Once again, thank you, Lori, for being the keeper of this amazing site!

Re: [lace] Lace Buddy map
Hi Spiders, I've put myself on the map, but how do you all get that lovely picture of a lacemaker? All I've got is a question mark. But I did get within 5 miles of my home.

Re: [lace] Lace Buddy map
Hello Sue I had problems getting my dot in the right place too. It couldn't find the village name (Allhallows) and when I tried Rochester it put the dot on the centre of Rochester, about 12 miles away, but then I tried using the postcode and now it's spot-on!
