I freaking hate Google Maps. It's not the first time it refuses to add me.
Search, add to maps, select MacHeist, Go, add title and description, press save and done, refresh page and hurray, I'm not there!

Google moved me!  It still has my location listed correctly in Maryland, but my marker on the map is showing up in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.  Does this mean I've won a free trip or something?  Gee, thanks!

Someone might have accidentally edited your marker. When I checked the map this morning, someone named Jono had updated mine.

Interesting. So far we have 3 Heisters in Japan but they are all in neighboring prefectures. I live in Mie-ken, another lives across the peninsula and the other lives north in Kobe. I’m surprised that there aren’t any Heisters represented in Tokyo.

roll Eeeee??? I've added my pin three times already, and now you're saying it's not there? (I should be in Tokyo BTW) I'll have to check and correct again. The last time, someone PM'd me and said I was in the middle of very remote China. WTF?

I've just put up a "member map" using Google Maps so that you can show what part of the world you're from:

MacHeist Member Map

If you'd like to add yourself (you'll need to have a Google account and be logged-in), go to the link, then search on your location (for your protection, I'd recommend just putting in your city/state instead of your actual address), then click on the "Save to My Maps" link that's in the balloon that pops up. Then make sure that "MacHeist Member" is selected in the popup menu that appears and click the "Go" button.

It'll work best if you put your name or username in the Title field and put your location in the Description field (along with any other info you think is relevant).

Okay, a bit slow, but done!

Hi doc_macpro. Nope, you aren’t on the map yet. I pinned myself 4-5 times until I realized that I was on the second page of the map rather than the first. Check the member list on the left to make sure you are there. Still, very few people in Japan unless they just haven’t noticed this topic. I guess many members would just stick to their HQ and the Front and Backroom.

Wherever you go, there you are.

I'm the only one from Mexico... Anyways, pretty nice map! I like it! Maybe if this were announced on the main page we would be able to get everyone on it!
Edit: Only saw the second page, that threw me off! D'oh! It appears there are two more people from Mexico. Also, don't use the default placemarks, use your avatar, only upload a tiny version, because there are some enormous avatars, like an Orange Team one that takes up half of Africa! Also, include signatures, it just looks better and helps people recognize everyone at a glance.

Was wondering the same thing. Doubt it, and I doubt that there'll be enough people who join the map to see, but it is terrific fun to think about. Truth is, we just don't know the hows and whys of the teams! grr!

Also, joined. a bit complex to figure out, but I think/hope I'm in there.
