Google have a mapping program called Frappr where we can all add our locations to a worldwide map. You can also load up a pic of yourself, boat or whatever. If you add a picture when you add your location to the map, your little picture will appear when you click on your little location marker.

So my advice is to get a pic ready on your desktop that you can attach to your location before you go.

There's no fee to mark your location. Just watch out for the little opt-in boxes when you sign in. You know the type, send me free stuff, join me to this deal.

Here's the link.

That is pretty cool Chris...I even found some new lakes in the area that i didnt even know existed. I created a profile but i see no icons next to my name on the fanatics map...I wonder if i did it right?
 
OK Coop, why is there a picture of my Michigan house in your Bucyrus Ohio profile!

If every Checkmate owner knew of this, the map would be so loaded down with members you wouldn't be able to distinguish the balloons.......

I can see your pic... Can anyone tell me how to move the ballon to where my house is??? i made a frapper account and already uploaded like 4 pics and moved the ballon to my street but when i Im on the fanatics map I dont have any Icons for mail, IMs etc... next to my name like some others do and my ballon marker is in a random spot...what did i do wrong???
 
You can also zoom in closer which makes it easier to see the tags that are close together.

I think you can create a username and then go in and enter your name into your profile. The tag will then be close to your exact location.
 
Sorry Matt! If ya zoom in a bit you show up! lol It must plot based on the center of the zipcode that you enter. You can zoom right in to the street view, but it has me plotted about 2 miles form my house. The satellite view is kinda cool!

They seem to be ok for me. I'd like to see a few more markers on the map though!
