Never mind 86 year olds having trouble with technology, I had enough trouble working the map and I'm 'only' 55.  Still, I think I am on it now, damned if I know where though.

Don't waste your time is my advice. I think I hate this stupid map just about more than anything else on Club Arnage and that includes the spammers. It's not user friendly and it's based on american software, so it had not heard of Crawley West Sussex or even Gatwick airport. If you're from Southampton and you're lucky it will show you as Southampton, otherwise it's London.

When it was first posted on here I recall writing some very disparaging words about it (and it's supporters!) which I won't repeat. Suffice to say - what a load of CRAP!

Don't listen to Mrs Zarse, he's just having a bad hair day ;)  The beauty of the MAP is that you can pin point your exact location.  Even my place abroad has a hat pin right on the swimming pool.  Even though it hasn't heard of Seminyak.

Mind you, how can a programme have ears :D

Don't listen to Mrs FS either I tried to pinpoint my address and the closest it could get was some Godforsaken hole about 3 miles from where I actually live.
 
I haven't spent the last 25 years moving house and climbing up the property ladder to have some rubbish American orientated website try and put me back among the peasants

the programme is quite able to pinpoint your exact location, down to the front door, that's if the satellite saw it.  what you're hearing are the beating's of the computer illiterate

No it's the bleating of someone with too much time on their hands. And by the way, I'm in a good mood today!

hope that it isn't a pop at me Mrs Zarse, I'm fully occupied at present and have a number of deadlines for international magazines to meet.  BUT still find time to help our new CA chums out. ;)

would you be another person that would like to have a quiet word with me at Donny?  There seems to be a bit of a queue forming.  NEXT :D

Surprised it recognised Jersey as ther are so few locals over there it should be re-named as little Poland, Madeira, Portugal, Ireland, Wales, Italy etc etc but not Jersey And we are proud of our tomatoes unlike the Jersey growers who dumped so many 'Royals'  a few years ago they polluted the streams!

PS. Fagey, I will prob be over in Sept for work perhaps meet for a beer or molotof cocktail.
