Here's mine Google Maps
This photo must have been taken just after we took on the plot, you can see the tarp we laid to suppress the weeds. - it seemed bigger somehow!

PS I had a techie helping or I'd never have figured it out.

Please note the above link only allows access to my plot map and not the full Grape's maps. Don't know what happened - they really shouldn't let me play with these grown-up toys.

Cool! Good to see where all the grapes are! Just edited ours to show a man and woman symbol (for us both) on the plots, and a little house symbol for our home! Cool!

Looks like I've managed to include us, here in Eastbourne. No photo as no plot, merely a garden.

What a lovely idea After a few blonde moments, I got my little corner pinned on the map - it's a corner of my Dad's garden that he's now popped a second greenhouse on and presented me with the 'keys' with the sage advice 'don't leave it all to me, will you!!!'

how odd - 'it' has moved my location at home without any assistance from me, it has moved me away from the runway and put me in by the Med Centre

Seems quite a popular idea then? I think there is plenty of room for improvement, but I can't find anything that allows a simpler creation of a map - needs a techie touch or a little expertise.

I can't remove your postcode place name bubblewrap/madderbat, I think you might have to edit/remove your own even though I'm the "creator" of the overall map.

Cool to see where everyone is, even though my geography is pretty good it's still easier to actually "see" where one is in relation to other ones.
