It exports directly to Google Earth so it's a KMZ file, well it will be when I can get to the site again

Hmmm.....

There should be a database table behind the scenes somewhere, any chance you could get the site owner to output the marker locatons (and names) from the map? That would give us the information needed to replot the markers.

Well there is no option to export in any other way than to google map but I have emailed the people responsible for the guestmap site to see if there is anyway to do it. Hopefully they may put a feature in to do it automatically. I have however got a text file list of all markers on the map with co-ordinates and comments.

) that I've had any contact with in the real world. There have been others that I would have liked to talk to/meet up with, the problem is that it's difficult to know who to trust.

The first person I've ever met in person after first meeting them online was a complete nutter: scatterbrained and loopy as anything. A very suspicious character...

HIYA JULES!

Is she waiting for a fully finished flooring first??

That's the beauty of the 'meets' that go on from time to time - there are quite a few people there and we always meet in a public place so there's no need to worry. I mean, I met Paul at one - and now he's safely installed as a permanent feature in my house!

That's in hand...

I'm paying for a bloke to do it next week.

Brothers ex-wife met her new fella on the net (he's Swedish) and the neighbours across the road met the same way (she's American). I would say it could have a lot of advantages over regular dating (you get to know someone's personality first).

If you want to email me that I can have a go at importing it into my test map, it may be possible to create a new map from that data as it is.

Beam me up, dilli!

You do - you just don't realise it

It's a sub-dermal implant. It was put it when you were asleep one night

I'll beam you up when I figure out how to do it without turning you inside out (a la galaxy quest)

Would do if only I had your email address

PM won't allow it due to size constraints.

Raistlin · 19-08-2005, 11:20

Sorry

You have a PM

I've been to a few. Its great fun, and we always meet in a public place. I have met a few people now, and only 1 knows my home address so far, and a couple more i'd give it to. You don't even have to give out your mobile number if you don't want to. So please re-consider. Also, after people get to know each other, there are always impromptu meets going on. Well worth biting the bullet and going for it.
