Please remember:

The more you zoom in, the more precisely you see where your locator is.

If it's not exactly where you'd like it to be, please ask Sionned (politely - she's a volunteer!) to move it, and she will...:)

Because this map uses the entire list all on one page, it also automatically doesn't include some markers when there are too many visible at the same time - if you click and hold and move it about, you'll see some coming into view and some vanishing.

The more you zoom in to a particular area, the more of the placemarkers in that area you will see...:)

Great! When you click on the "view larger map" link at the bottom, you'll get a larger version where you can see more at once, but you still have to zoom in to see everyone in a crowded area.

Thanks, Aran!

It's a great map. Looking at SSIW members in England there are definite number of 'clusters' of members, ie Liverpool-Birkenhead, Birmingham, London. All these Cities have active Welsh societies, how about approaching them and having at least a LINK on their websites if not a Welsh Language Taster day / Oneday school to connect with local Cymry di-gymraeg and others who may wish to learn? There is a marked tendancy of Cymro Gorau Cymro Dramor among the expat Welsh living on this side of Clawdd Offa.
:clap:

That's definitely the kind of thing that I'd really like to do when I get the time...:D It is very interesting seeing the clustering effects already...

Um, Aran? This map seems to not be showing anything, now. I still have the original and it's still growing, but where are the placemarkers here?

Hmm... I'm seeing placemarkers on it.

But I notice that when I go to My Maps on Google and try to go into your original SSIW map, I can't access it.

What are the most recent one or two markers you've put on it?

I just now put Ragley on, a purple marker near Redditch (south of Birmingham). Before that, I put redhed in Abercarn, and moved sais01 and wolfrealt to where they should be.


[Edit: You're right, it should have been "redhed" - I've fixed it here.]

I can see both Ragley and redhed (sp?!) on this map. Hmmm. But when I go to My Maps, I see the link for your original map (which is not the same as this xml extract; although the xml extract updates from the original map, it can't be edited) but when I click on it, it just vanishes.

Google maps - frustrating the parts other maps can't reach...:wink:

Anyone else unable to see any placemarkers on the map above here, even when you zoom in?

Indeed. I wonder if it makes any difference whether I have it open or not?

It is weird that I could see them when you first put it up, but can't any longer.
