BOTH OF THE ABOVE SAME ISSUE - SAME ADVICE

TOP LEFT:

Click "Show List"

From the list which has now appeared on the right hand side of the screen select "Your Name"

Click on your Marker which is now highlighted on the map.

At the bottom right of the dialog / speech bubble is a small icon with an arrow on it. when you roll the mouse cursor over it a box comes up that says "relocate".

Click that little icon.

You can now move your marker anywhere you like on the map.

Repeat until happy. Thumbs Up!

Do which bit Jimbob?

EDIT: Yes I was. I have jsut logged in as a member and found the limitation.

I have changed the settings of the map now so that each member can add markers, but not change anything on eachothers'.

When you initially create a marker you recieve a dialog box with a unique URL. KEEP THIS URL/LINK - IT IS YOUR KEY TO EDIT YOUR MARKER ONLY!!!

Visit the page and add it to your favourites. Thumbs Up!

This is a standard text answer, so I apologise if the information provided is like teaching a granny to suck eggs. This is just a mini FAQ to save me some time.

Please follow the instructions/tips below first and then let me know if there are any further issues by adding a post to this thread:

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1206144652

I watch it regularly and will help you on the thread. This way everyone gets the benefit of the answers.

Good luck!

HOW DO I ADD MY MARKER?

Centralise eh map on your home location and zoom in until you can see your street clearly. Set your street/house to about 1 cm from the far right of the map (You'll see why in a minute)

Top Left - click "Add" --> "Marker"

Follow your nose, by adding your address. It will have a link on that dialog where it allow you to place your marker by clicking on "

Map Select a location

". Use this link as it will help you to make sure your marker is accurately positioned.

When you initially create a marker you recieve a dialog box with a unique URL. COPY AND KEEP THIS URL/LINK - IT IS YOUR KEY TO EDIT YOUR MARKER ONLY!!!

Suggestion: Visit the unique URL/LINK page and add it to your favourites for future reference.

HOW DO I MOVE MY MARKER IF IT ENDS UP IN THE WRONG PLACE?

Visit your unique URL/LINK to access/change your marker.

Make sure your address is accurate.

Change the "MARKER" type in the drop down list to "MOVE"

PM me and ask me to move your marker to the address.

HOW DO I FIND MY MARKER ON THE MAP AMONGST EVERYONE ELSE'S?

TOP LEFT:

Click "Show List"

From the list which has now appeared on the right hand side of the screen select "Your Name". NB: List is sorted by Cpaital letters 1st and then alphabetically (Zorro appears before apple, but Apple appears before Banana)

Click on your Marker which is now highlighted on the map.

You can also remove the types of marker by clicking on the legend of marker types at the bottom left.
