GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

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 The instructions below are no longer applicable, but I won't remove them right now.Frappr!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 down

Add me on there.

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.

what the heck, count me in.

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.

Link does n ot work for me.

I get the link now. But how do you add a picture? It would not take mine.

I'm in.

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

didn't like my zip code, so I had to pick the next one up the road

I am there, this would be cool to schedual a meet.

Sweet! I'm in!

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

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.

im in great find Glenn

added

how do we add ourselves? log in? will have to do that at home.

I was wondering when somebody was going to get around to doing something like this. Sweet, put me in there. (quick change of subject)NascarXprt your sig is trippin me out. Everytime I see it I think it is one of my posts. And I am like Hey I never posted in this thread beore, what the crap? You don't have to change it or anything, I'm not pissed.

I added myself... but I don't see anything. Am I supposed to see a map or something? I just have a big white blank...

I'm in! This is so cool!

in!

I'm in. this is pretty cool

so what's the deal with hope and mavrik i know they live in alaska and we ain't got anyone from alaska on the map

I dunno; Mavrik said he was gonna add himself when he was home. Maybe Hope had some "honeydo's" for him?! Just so y'all don't miss it, here's the link (click on image or link): -or-http://www.frappr.com/genvibeEnter your username, an optional shoutout, an optional picture, and your zipcode and you're in!

Quote, originally posted by Baltovibe »When I registered, the shoutout was not optional, but mandatory. It would not accept my registration without it.Same here.

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

hey dont worry i have been doin the same thing till i see the black box with the cat sayin some thing.

Quote, originally posted by gargoyle »Yeah, you should see a map.I just checked it... you are on there.Sometimes it takes a minute to load.Interesting. I can't see it in IE, but I can see it in Opera.

So far there are 19 states and three provinces represented. I know there are more.

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.

Count me as added!

BUMP! We only have 32 members posted...would sure like to see more out there!

Bump. No one from Jersey yet.

Im in, Im the only winterpeger... sorry winnipeger on there. Hope theres more(little crack at bluecrush)

Come ON!!! Lets have someone in EVERY State and Providence!!!!

Quote, originally posted by tnpartsguy »Come ON!!! Lets have someone in EVERY State and Providence!!!!Province.

we need some more people to add themselves. we only have 34 out of all our users

21 states and 4 provinces.

Woah, I just ran into this tonight... Very cool. I'm number 39 or something.

We are up to 22 states and 4 provinces.

added myself in there... but you have to look to the left and up! lol. i'll add mavrik too... so i'm not so lonely!

Nice to have you two on the Frappr map! I've changed the default view so we can see your pushpins....well, Hope's at least (she's hogging up screen from Mavrik)

ya, not sure why it won't show both our push pins!
