GenVibe Member Map at Frappr!

ZubenElGenubi · Post by **ZubenElGenubi** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 1:16 am

Edited on 5/18/2010: Frappr! is no more. See my most recent post for more information. The instructions below are no longer applicable, but I won't remove them right now.Frappr! was a website that used Google Maps to create maps of group members.Click on image or link to see our site: -or-http://www.frappr.com/genvibeTo add yourself to our Frappr map:Enter your GenVibe username in the Name field,your e-mail address,your zipcode (5 digit or 5+4),select a pushpin for your vehicle type (Base, GT, AWD, other)a shoutout (like a tagline), andan optional picture (doesn't have to be resized; it will scale down a thumbnail for you),Updated Info: Frappr! is back to using Google Maps to generate the map. The interface has once again changed, but seems to run quickly. I'm trying to optimize it by turning off the auto-touring.You can also add "Places" and I've designated a special pushpin type for our meets. Four GenVibe meets are visible on the map.Note: Please use your GenVibe username for your pushpin name. If I cannot verify GenVibe forum membership for a pushpin, it will be removed from the map.IM me if you have additional questions or need posted stuff fixed.

Looks like it's really cool and fun.I'm with you about possible abuse though. Thanks for volunteering to moderate .If it can be kept fairly clean and appropriate then I'm in!

I'm glad to hear that some of you are interested. I'd like to hear from some of the GV moderators & NSimkins on how they feel about this as well.I'd be willing to moderate the Frappr group, if OK'd by you all.

I don't see any need for an "OK" from anyone...or any reason why anyone would turn it down. I think it's a pretty cool idea.

Okay...it's up and running! Click the link below to go directly to it. -or-http://www.frappr.com/genvibeEnter your username, an optional shoutout, an optional picture, and your zipcode and you're in! Keep the pics clean, folks! Currently, our map page is NOT part of the public listing of maps. If you have a problem with your mappoint (ex. need to remove it), IM me here and I'll take care of it.

Use the "Browse" button to find a file, then click the "Add Me!" button.If you want to update existing information, make sure you choose the same Name and ZipCode; it will replace the optional information you supply.There's more information at the Frappr FAQ

Signed on, can't see the map here at work though. Have to check it out when I get home!

gargoyle · Post by **gargoyle** » Mon Oct 31, 2005 11:57 pm

I signed on, then I went to change my pic, but I typed the shout out again... now I have a duplicate shout out (It says the same thing twice)... doh! I can't find a way to fix it... a little help here Mr. Moderator... please fix it if possible or just delete it completely and I'll sign on again if necessary. Thanks. Cool site.EDIT: Fixed! Thanks Zuben.

WHOA, that's nuts, the marker on the site is about 100 yards down the road from my house. Frappr knows......... EDIT: Ok it's more like 200 yards but still, my zipcode covers a large area.

ZubenElGenubi · Post by **ZubenElGenubi** » Tue Nov 01, 2005 11:18 pm

I dunno; Mavrik said he was gonna add himself when he was home. Maybe Hope had some "honeydo's" for him?!

Doh! Yep; the shoutout is required. I updated the topmost post in this thread to reflect that (thanks for the suggestion, Mr.P)

Baltovibe · Post by **Baltovibe** » Wed Nov 02, 2005 9:36 pm

I am surprised that Ragingfish has not joined in yet, considering that (I think) he was the first one to come up with the idea.http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... ortunately, his map is no longer there.
