She doesn't generally have to be obeyed at all...'cause I live up the other end of town from 'er. But this is our last outing before National Championships in two weeks time so has to be done - especially since we wagged last weekend (I went for a ride instead...hurhurhur)

There's a different thread for the chit chat about going for rides, I thought this one was just for the tag game?
Why don't you merge the two threads

Because some people in this thread are not aware of the LOR thread and its rides. Now that we have the first decent Sunday in about 6 weeks I think it is a good opportunity through this thread to promote the ride on Sunday.

Your first post in this thread since march??

Is the google tag map being kept up to date?

**rustyrobot** · 9th July 2010, 14:36

Sorry, I fell a bit behind with it recently because people didn't give specific locations for the tags and it took too long to trawl through google maps finding where they were on a road (I think it started with the Rangitoto Rd one). Feel free to jump on yourself and add the new tags

Otherwise will try and get on to it this weekend.

Is it hard to do? Do you need permission?

No, I think Jonathon made it open editable. Might take a little playing with to get 100% sussed but not too hard if you are not afraid to experiment. You might have to subscribe to the map before you can enter it, and have to be logged into gmail or gmaps.

- Load the map
- Click the EDIT button at the top of the tag list on the left hand side
- Find your location
- Click the little blue pin to add the tag point (it says 'add a placemark' when you mouse over it)
- Stick it in the spot you want
- Type in the tag info (can follow the examples of the other tags or go your own merry way)
- Change the edit mode if you want to add links to the tag post or picture (although pictures don't seem to be working at the moment)
- Click on the blue pin icon in the top right corner of the info box and scroll down until you find the little green bike picture
- Done!

Can always delete mistakes too.

It's really Jonathon's baby though so you have to deal with him if you break it

Should still be open for everyone to edit. I always put the photos in with links to the post in this forum although it takes awhile! I haven't updated it for months as i currently can not play the game. Soon as i sort a camera i will be back!

Wow. Good effort man. That is quite a bit of work to do each time. I doubt anyone realised.
