Have to say I'm really enjoying zooming in and out looking at all your plots. You can see the bramble mountain that used to be on mine, and the roof to the Heath Robinson like potting shed that I'm about to pull down.

You should be able to plug your postcode in and find your plot/garden/field and stick a pin in it.
Well its not the most user-friendly map-thingy, but I'm certainly getting to 'visit' lots of places!

I think flat roof extensions look like swimming pools on google earth.

I'm still trying to add mine. Do I need to open a Google account first?

Default help please

BW is 'doing his fruit' getting a bit worked up about not being on the map - we don't know if he is or isn't (my computer skills went downhill after the last stroke)
this is the link where he's pinned his own map, can someone join him up and put him on the global map please? It'll save my blood pressure!

Google Maps

Thanks
Jane

just try to edit the pin on the map with a title.
