Grow Your Own Magazine

Well I sihned in, found my allotment marked it on my map and thats it! I can not seem to link it with anyone elses! My brain hurts! Ok ok what brain!!! Help what have I done wrong!

Does this help?

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?

Added my plot, at last. The photo must have been taken when the previous 'owner' had it as I don't recognise the layout!

Great explanation sbp, thanks.

I've managed to get on there at last.



Dandelion, the easiest way I found, after signing in, was to click Edit (on left of page)
right click on the plot and click on Add a Placemark
then enter your details.
Go back to LHS of page and click done.

It'll be interesting to see where on the island you are

I'm here - Sunny Horseheath!

Hi All
Just wondering if theres any people on the map or in the grapevine close to me in kearsley, bolton? or am i the only 1

Hi, have just added myself to the map and found out I'm near Shirlthegirl43. how did you change the picture thing. I'd like a tepee. Maz

Great idea, couldn't zoom in close to mine (rural locations are never so easy to find) but managed to put my pin in. Unfortunately managed to put another pin about 5 miles down the road too, but couldn't work out how to remove it!
