well I think he just keeps on adding himself, since The Tokai allready deleted him at least once.

Itas actually a bit sinister this, I just zoomed right in on my entry in London, and its put me only about 1/3 of a mile away from where I actually am. (I don't think that is giving too much away since about 3/4 of all the lawyers in London, together with about 500,000 other people, are within that radius of my flag)

But all I told it was "London". So it must be able to tell where you are from your internet connection. (sorry if that's old news, I didn't know they could do that)

That could actually be quite bad if you lived somewhere small so the location was pretty precise.

I'm not sure about that, it was miles off for me.

It's only two streets away for me. That's pretty scary!

**Craterus** · 10-20-2005, 21:09

It's probably 2 or 3 miles off for me.

EDIT: 4 or 5, in fact.

Wow quite a few people near me in Manchester. I don't actually live in Manchester but when asked the generel area I live in I allways say Manchester. Any way for all the Mancunians I will give you a clue I live in a small town quite near to Manchester that begins with K. King canute was meant to of crossed a river there (as if, stupid people trying to make the town sound better) and you can do not to much there as it's a very small town. Well any guesses?

I found it odd that the city where I live (which became a part of a larger city) was on the map, and actually appears before Ottawa does when zoomed out, but wasn't recognised as a city at all when I tried to add myself.

Thats an interesting point.
I live in an area that has a collective name (loads of smaller towns)
Its put me in an area quite away from where I live, its actually an old map as my house/road is not even on the map. The house is 3 years old and the road about five.

The area where I live (town) is named but not selectable.

I still find it very interesting, looks like the same technology/ map set as Google earth.

My house is 5 years old, the same as all the other houses on the street. My entire street isn't on the map either.

Some houses on the street are actually 6 years old, so that map is quite old.

Removed him again. Unfortunately, I can't ban people, only remove them and I can't check the map every minute so we'll have to live with him popping up every once in a while. I think it's best to send me a pm when you spot him, no need to ruin this nice thread talking about him, he's not worth the attention.
