RBW Owners Google Map

[Bryan @ Renaissance Bicycles]

After a recent post in this group regarding the whereabouts of other
Riv owners and available resources, I decided to create an interactive
Google Map of Rivendell resources in which everyone can contribute (it
just took a rainy Sunday to actually get it done.)

http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/interactive-google-maps/rivendell-owners-map/
(And if this proves to be a worthwhile resource, maybe it could be
added to the RBW Owners Bunch resource page.)

The basic idea is that Riv owners, dealers, and aficionados can place
themselves on the map. Hopefully it will serve as a good resource to
connect us together in both the physical and virtual worlds. Feel
free to put as much as or little information as you deem appropriate
into the Placemarker Description.

At this point, the map is somewhat in "beta testing", so if you have
any problems with the map or instructions, please let me know.

Hmmm ... it seems that the above link might be a little too long for
some users.

Here is the shortened version: http://wp.me/PFM6M-pG

Thanks to all who have contributed so far,

Bryan

This is a really terrific idea -- thanks!

What is the distinction between the blue arrow points and the green cyclist points?

Yes, the different placement markers are really just my own fine-
tuning.

You can change the type of Placement Marker by clicking on it when in
the "editing" window (aka writing the content of the marker.)

Basically, I made the Golden House = RBW HQ
The Golden Wrench = Riv Dealers
Green Bikes = Rivendells free ranging

And if there are other landmark, items, or whatnot that should be
added, please just make a suggestion.

I zoomed in on my neighborhood, clicked over to the satellite image,
and place my blue bulb on the roof of my house...

[Anthony Castellino]

I'm on the map...'A Homer Hilsen, Hillsborough, Ca'...great idea!

[Leslie]

A couple of suggestions:

1) Don't change the 'title' of the map, just the name of your
placemark.

2) Some people may not want to be overly precise in their location,
or are cautious about divulging personal info. If you have such
concerns, I would suggest placing your location mark near the center
of your town, or town hall, or at a nearby point-of-interest or
landmark, instead of actually at your house, and use your 'group name'
instead of your real name ('course, my 'group name' is my name,
lol...). But if you aren't overly concerned, then feel free to be as
precise as you wish.

FWIW...

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far ... and please let
others know about it. Likewise, there are more Riv dealers to be
added, so please ask them if they are interested.

While I guess this question is ultimately up to our fearless
leader ... Should a link to this map appear on the RBW Owners Bunch
link page?

I planned to do that - was hoping to embed the image, but haven't dug into
it deeply enough to see if that will work. Ran out of steam last night -
funny what a work-filled Monday following a 200K will do to you.

I'll likely include the caveat that Leslie mentioned - that since this is a
publicly viewable map, some user-judgement should be invoked as far as the
precision of the information.

Come on, any others in Asia? (Actually I know of two more here in
Chiang Mai, but other than that?)

Cheers,

[Frederick, Steve]

I hear you--I'm the only one in Michigan so far!

there are in San Jose Ca? that can't be right
