Making a custom map

Post by gardengirl »

Hey Techie folks.
Does anyone out there know how to make a custom map?
What I would like to do is create a map with "pushpins" so to speak.
I have a group of friends from all over the province and I would like to create a map, pinpointing where everyone lives.
Any ideas?
Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death.

I suspect if you login to google maps or google earth they more then likely would have exactly what you are looking for.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Why use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.
