For bobleponge - to put a pin in the grapes map....

Grapes Maps

1st you must have a google account - open the map and try signing in - top right. When you've signed in/created an account reopen the map.

Type your address or post code in the search bar - click 'search maps'
This should zoom you to where you 'grow' or live.
Under where it says 'google maps uk' click on the tab that says 'My maps' (so you put your pin in the main map where evryone else is).
On the left hand menu (to the right of HWs piccy) click 'edit'
On the map (top left) click on the blue pin (looks like a balloon) and then drag it to where you want it to be, click again to 'set' it.
A box appears - type your details in the Title (and description if you like) then click Okay.
Back on the left hand menu (near HW's piccy) click Save, then click Done.

That should be you added to the Grapes Map?

SBP, thanks for all your time and efforts trying to make someone thicker than a whale omelette do simple things.
I followed your steps for putting my abode on the map, and I have no doubt that anyone competent would have no troubles whatsoever in marking their plots/homes with a little pin.
As I'm clearly not competent I couldnt do it.
I think its a great idea, and I have loved looking at everyone elses but I am now officially sulking and shant be attempting to add mine again for a week or so

Found it but can't get into it. Will have to ask daughter when she comes round - I think she's managed to put her plot on.

I think you double click on the icon itself when it appears in the 'box' on the map? Can't remember 100% what I did now.

Have added my pin to the google map. Seeing the shadow cast by my southerly neighbour's shed I can see why the crops in one of my raised beds are never great! It doesn't look that bad on the ground!

This picture was taken around the end of 2006/start of 2007 looking at how many beds I had in by then.

Now, how do I add all the places I have plots on that aren't on this planet???

EDIT:

Just checked the second link and the map here is at least a year older for my plot!!
