Actually, you don't need to register. I just used "Iris" as the password and got right in.

Glives, you can move your marker by using one of the (tiny) icons in the lower right corner of your balloon when you click on your marker. One of them is an edit key that allows youto rename, relocate, or remove the marker. (going to check and make sure I am not lying now...)

Yup - its the middle of the three icons.

I'd also like to request that those who have mapped their boat please add pictures and videos. It's real easy, take a look at mine for reference.

Well, my personal email account has been pinged by about 20 messages requesting to confirm a change to the password on the boat map. Folks, you don't have individual passwords that you can change, I am the only one who can change it. Please stop trying.

After getting all those emails I took a look at the map and saw that oodles of markers are up now. Yay!!

I also saw that folks are having a hard time with the map and sometimes putting up multiple markers in teh same spot trying to get the right look or something. I have tried to clean things up by deleting doubled (or tripled, or even quintupled) markers. Now each person has one marker. If you put up two markers as a security thing, I may have deleted the wrong one. Please visit the map and take a look at it. Here is the way to relocate a marker.

Sign in and click on your marker.
In the lower right corner of the bubble that comes up, there are three icons.
Click the middle icon.
A message will come up saying to drag your marker, and then hit submit.
Drag your icon, then hit submit.
Admire your work.

Six simple steps, and you don't need me to tell you the last 2. Happy mapping!!

Jerry (Whisper): C-25s are red. Hangers-on (like me) are green.

Jerry I fixed it for you.

And you don't mess around with Dave... ;o)

Mien Engel is now listed on the map, the only one in Missouri. Got my cooridinates off of google maps and it put me right on my mooring ball. Sat image had to be taken a few years back, cause we are now down to 3 sets of docks instead of 4 as shown.

Wow Dave, thank you. Guess in my typing I reverted back to the old "I" before "e" except after "c". Thank you again

I've marked Slainte in her slip. This is a great idea.

I put it on for you Derek, used your signature minus your name for the additional info.

To add markers, you have to enter the password (Iris) and then go to the "Additions" menu in the top menu bar.

Seems my marker is moving south, though that's a good way to go. I tried to put it in Pensacola but can't seem to figure out how to move it back.

Assuming the push-pins are reasonably accurate . . . it is interesting to see how many more boats are on an ocean coastline in the east compared to the west.

The Left Coast is beautiful from a 40+ footer (Big Sur, Monterey, the Oregon rocks, ...) and has a few protected waters (SF, SD, Puget) and the weather is more even, but the Right is more right for little coastal cruisers.

(...except up here right now.) Even the Great Lakes can't compare--I grew up there...

Right on the money, Stinkpotter. We drove the PCH from L.A. to Seattle in early October this year. It was my wife's first time west of the Rockies - it was different and better that anything she could have imagined, but less for small boats than the east or gulf coasts. We missed a sail in S.F. because my niece and her husband"s boat that had been on the market for a year without a nibble sold the week before we got there.

AHHH, memories of young and single in SoCal in the sixties, life is still good, but........ An aside: I always struggle with whether or not my niece's husband is my nephew or if my wife's brother's wife is my sister-in-law.
