World meet-ups - Mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

To decide where to have a maemo/N900 meetup I have started a map where anybody interested can pinpoint their location and any hotspots can be identifed.
People in the hotspots can get in contact with each other and decide on a venue to have their meet-up.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

hehe, i'm sure there must be a free service somewhere in the world :) - research peoples, research! :D

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

you've got to pay 99p to have more than 2 pins and it's just the google maps api! outrageous!

andyfrommk can you just use maps.google.co.uk?

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Bah, shoulda read the terms and conditions.
Hold on, upgrading to premium service

O well nice idea

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

how can we all pinpoint our locations on maps.google.co.uk?

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

OK, lets try this again

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

added mine

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

How about trying http://www.communitywalk.com/ don't know if everyone needs their own account though.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

I've not used Google Earth for a while, but can't you create custom POIs? Maybe a standard N900 POI could be the answer.

Added.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Added now :)

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Done :)

nice one dude

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Added pin. Great idea :)

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Lol, I like it!

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

I'm not from uk, but I added myself. Maybe we could use the whole earth map for this. And then everyone can zoom in as much as he/she needs.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

You're welcome to do this, I have paid for the whole year so take your time to organise a meet-up.
For some reason it defaults to the scale and location that I first saved, but tell the others to zoom out to their country.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

I'm the most northern so far, that's me fek'd lol.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

added :) (manchester)

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Am I the only one sad enough to find this weirdly interesting. It is possible to change the title so that the whole community would be more aware of this thread and add their locations.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Don't know how this works, but I second this motion. :cool:

Maybe we could make a poll, to see if we should change the title. :D

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Added little old me :)

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Yeah bring on the whole world. We should have a worldwide meet up in Southampton UK :) lol

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

If someone tells me how, I will change the title to:
World meet-ups, Mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
(or some other title if someone mentions a better one)

The rest of the world is welcome to mark their location, they just need to zoom out to see their country

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Added myself.

Why do I have a feeling we're going to have to meet outside London? :rolleyes:

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Wow, there someone near me in coventry... :)

i like the idea of an N900 finder app tho, kind of like the people finder in Tunewiki. gps / network position based. now that would be cool!
like a real time version of this...

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

I'm up for that!!!! Well, up for a meet up anywhere in the UK, oh, what the hell, anywhere in the world, so long as it is hot, or lots of snow for skiing.

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Done a mention here... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41160

hopefully we'll populate the whole globe :)

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Of course, it's the belly button of the world! :D

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

what? full of fluff that no-one knows where originated? lol

:rolleyes:

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Andy, can you put this in your first post please? - will allow people just opening the thread to see it :)

Re: UK meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

Consider it done, also it would be wise to keep repeating it for every page of posts, well, you know how some people don't want to search a thread or read from the first post

Re: World meet-ups, mark your location to pinpoint N900 hotspots
 

At the bottom left hand corner are options to manage pins.
