TalkBass mapped !!!

One thing that threw me at first was if there's several people in one place...say @Gaolee , @catcauphonic and @TBird1958, all in Seattle, they don't show as separate pins...a bit annoying that.
If you click the pin they will show though.
Ah, I see. That must be why the pin is a different color. And, because I tried to put a pin there, and you already did, now I'm there twice. So, it's like being a crappy bass player with expensive gear twice. Twice as crappy in that thread, twice as damp on the map.

Ah, now I get it. I added myself twice because I didn't see it the first time. Not sure how to change that. Great idea, though!

Actually I put a purple pin there 'cos I know @catcauphonic loves purple!
 
I appreciate being able to know where posts I'm reading from, or interacting with, are (very generally) located, but I'm a big fan of maps in general.

Any time I would stay in a hotel in unfamiliar territory, one of the first things I would do before venturing out is to open to the front of the phone book (remember those? :laugh:) that they always had in a drawer, and study the crude stick figure maps of the town I was in to compass myself and the surrounding major arterials & byways so i had less chance of getting turned around when I left the hotel (& I'd usually still look if I wasn't planning on going anywhere.)

I just find geography to be fascinating in general. Somehow i missed @Chicory Blue's thread that inspired this one ... I'm gonna have to dig for that one.

Sidenote: I was first just gonna pop in with a Flat Earther joke, but when I saw that purple pin I got a little choked up ... it felt like I got a hug all the way from Ireland :rolleyes:
