here it is:

http://www.congeralley.com/forum/vbgooglemaphse.php

you will also find a link in the "Site Navigation Panel".

If you have submitted a dive site guide and it's up on the site, you can now add it to the map at the above link by seeing what i've done wiht the conger alley site guide and following my half-assed instructions set forth below:

in order to add a marker, select "add elements" and make sure to add a title for the marker. I suggest you add the site guides you created, that way you will "own" them on the map. i.e. they will show that you added them. you can also add your comments etc.

I suggest we point the links as follows: point the marker at the html page itself, and point the forum link to the page in the links directory. see what i've done wiht hte conger alley marker and you'll see what i mean.

I'm quite pleased wiht this and think it deserves a :cool:


cheers m'dears

Gord, Well done in organising the map for pegging divesites to. I've put mine on (and a couple of Ding's) and it is easy to use and very intuitive to find sites once the're on. Congrats.

If you're adding a site to the map, please add the link first to teh Scottish Dive Sites part of the links directory (here: http://www.congeralley.com/links/browselinks.php?c=10 )

Then you can add a suitable "link to forum" when you add a marker on the map. The reason I want this is to avoid dead-end links, such as that on the Rhodesia north of Skye which has no link to the forum. This should also make it possible for site guides to be discussed and rated in the links directory.

I know I'm a pain, but it's ultimately about quality. Thanks!
