Hey, has anyone tried zooming in \*all the way]/i]? It just brings up a bunch of big gray-scale squares, but after a few seconds it resolves to a street map of my town! Holy smoke! ---

It pretty much works just like Google Maps. I’ll see if my admin status lets me delete extra erroneous entries… ---

Yeah, then you can see where it puts you–in my case, miles outside of town but at least in the right part of the valley. Too cool! ---

Just go to the “edit members” and find the correct one to delete. You can also edit comments should you ever find it necessary. ---

> [@stretch](#): > > Yeah, then you can see where it puts you–in my case, miles outside of town but at least in the right part of the valley. Too cool! Jeez. You couldn’t fix my coding when you quoted me? :rolleyes: 😃 I spent a few minutes looking at it to figure out where it put me. I’ve only lived in town for about 6 months, so I’m not super-familiar with the lay of the land. Anyways, after careful deliberation, I figured out the spot. There’s a small stand/shack that’s staffed by little old ladies who hand out informative pamphlets, brouchures, and etc. about the town, events, places to visit or stay, touristy-type stuff like that. It’s a trolley stop all summer, and that’s where I bought my $5 raffel tickets to win 100 pounds (45 Kgs!) of lobster (I didn’t win, btw). Anyways, that’s what Frapper points to in Marblehead, Mass. Weird. It’s got to be a coincidence that it actually points to something worth pointing to, right? I’d like to hear where it put other Dopers. Anything interesting?
