Put your Epic on the map
« on: October 18, 2005, 22:02:02 pm »
Somebody on Wakeworld brought this up, and it's something I've wanted to build for the site for a long time. A map with pins representing where us Epic owners are across the globe.


PLEASE take the time to put your Epic on the map:

http://www.frappr.com/toyotaepicowners

As a favor to me, please make sure your epicmarine name's on their somewhere and when you can, add a graphic!

The concept feels so important to me because like I know where the local guys are and where most of the frequent posters live, but so many of you that actually have a life outside of Epicmarine slip my mind. It will be so cool if seeing a pin next to a place you're visiting will be enough to get you to attempt to hook up for a visit.


A few notes:

The only way I know to change your uploaded graphic is to delete your entry and then start from scratch.

If any of you need help doing that, let me or Lesman know and we'll delete you so you can be born again.

As far as graphic size, Bitzy's 160 x 120 seems to be the largest graphic the application will show. Basically, you load any picture and it will resize to where the largest dimensions are either 160 or 120. Not sure the file size limitation for upload, but you'll get a nastygram if it's too many KBs then you can resize and try again. So as long as your graphic maintains those proportions (640 x 480, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, etc.), you'll be assured your graphic will end up as large as possible. My original try was wide and short, and it resized the wide to 160 which left the short at like 50. Redid the graphic to fill up the rest of them wasted pixels.

Not sure how you can do carraige returns in the shout out section, so I just wrote my three lines in Notepad, then copied them and pasted (Ctrl^V) into the shout out area. THEN you can have separate lines instead of some crazy non-word wrapping word wrap.


Also, if anyone wants to remove any of their Shout Outs (WTF that is...), listed down below the page, let me know and I'll remove whichever entry you'd like.

Many thanks to Toyotafreak for finding this and to Lesman, the Frappermeister, for the keystrokes to make it happen (and to keep it accurate!).

Everyone needs to add your name/location-

You know, Lesman, I was just in Asheville, NC. and bored out of my gourd. It was 80 degrees and I was wishin for my boat. Now that I have this map to look at, it looks like you are pretty dang close to there. I shoulda looked you up. I'm out there periodically, so I'll have to connect in the future. How far are you from Asheville?

Interesting that with all the Epics in Utah, I'm the only one on the map. Perhaps other Utah people have less time to waste on forum reading than I do. Come on Utahns, put yerself on the map.

If you don't have a photo up there already, then you should be able to add it by basically reentering your name, zip, shout and then browsing to and uploading your graphic.

If you already ahve a pic uploaded, you'll have to have me, Les or Pete delete your old one and then you can start over.

Ashville is only about 3 hours from us, Les. There are lakes in between here and there too!
