Hey All,

http://www.frappr.com/ubpntbpi

A pushpin type map has been started on the General Board for all to add themselves on as they wish, and I thought it a great idea, so I started one for TBPIs.

It's extremely easy to add yourself to it. If you care to do so, maybe include date of injury and which arm is injured (or not). If anyone has ideas of anything else that should be included, please post it and add away!

I've also requested that the maps initial view be global so we might get the 'whole' picture, but you can easily zoom in to your neck of the woods with the 'zoom toggle' on the upper left corner of the map.

I think it's a great way for us all to get a better 'picture' of the community we wished we never joined!

Cheers,
Christopher

Thanks Chris, I went to add myself to the other map and was disappointed it only covered the US, thanks for this!

Bouncing this to the top...I think this is a terrific idea...went and signed up for it when I saw the one linked to in the General forum, but stoopidly thought it was for N. America only...didn't see the nifty zoom and slide controls on the left!! (brain fart!)

Me agen...sorry UBPN I know you guys don't like bouncers, but I personally think this particular thread is way too important to let slip down too far.... lol

Chris, that is COOL AS GRITS (that's the way we say it in the South). Kind of like Google Earth but just for us.

Thank you so much for getting this organized!

Take care,

Ellen
