You can also use Wikimapia (www.wikimapia.org) to add items where ever in the world you wish to! For example, I added the location to the New Mexico sinkhole that was the subject of prior Texascaver rantings. Find it at http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=32.7319853&lon=-104.1278923&z=17&l=0&m=h&v=2. Note that since it is a Wiki, anyone can view your postings and change them anonymously. You probably don't want to use it to point out that new cave you just found...
