For those of you who have already changed your Profile details and put yourself on the member map - well done.
For those that have not changed their details and put yourselves on the member map get a wriggle on
and get on the map! Simply click on 'Profile' under 'USER FORM' in the left hand menu.
Once your in there click on 'Forum Profile Information' under 'Modify Profile'
Once your in there add your location to the map and then move the marker to your desired location.
NOTE: Don't forget to save your changes - otherwise it won't record your location.
You may/may not want to point the marker to your exact street location for privacy reasons but if you plonk it
in the suburb or even city that you live in that will do.
The member map is a great thing! Get on the map - lets fill it up!

is it wise to advertise your whereabouts on a map , even if you dont pin piont your exact road your giving the low life scum in the world the area to start searching , scumbag looks at map , heads to general area and waits for a beddie to go past. scum bag gets his pick of tools and stuff when he sees van go away. or is it just me being paranoid. ::)

Stumpy,
Don't put your exact location - just put your county or general area.
They won't be seeing your 'van go away' for a while so you should be safe! lol

Hey Bas NZ,
You need to move your location on the map. You're currently sitting in the middle of the Hauraki Gulf in about 80 metres of water. If you zoom in on the map it makes it real easy to locate you street.
Cheers,
Garry.

Stumpy, Australia is not too bad for that sort of thing, there seem to be other ways that they pin point who they are going to rob over here.
that bieng said I wouldnt put my street address or contact info on there
more likely to be a target of telemarketers or mail / identity theft if they have those sort of details.
-
how to pin point exactly where someone lives and know they are not home during the day? steal their gps from their car when its parked at a shopping centre, set it to home and bingo, the gps will not only guide you there but its a certainty that the person is out, its a regular happening here in Oz :o
-
Not much point putting mine on the map, because i live in mine fulltime and next stop Hamilton...
Hi Garry...*waves*...long time no see eh!....
-
i never have my home (as home in my GPS) lol,
so that would F#$K em. haha.
so they can take their pick from the 20 odd destinations that i havnt cleaned outa the GPS. ;D
-
Ha ..I dont even have a GPS and if they want to visit my place they will have to deal with "BEN" (THE ENFORCER) my dog. Todays burgular is tomorrows german shepherd shit!! :D ;D >:(

everyone around here knows where I live. It is not hard to find as there are 4 Bedfords and a Beddy trailer out the front!!! Even the cops know my van and where it lives... They leave me alone tho as I give them discount at work and we all know that the cops love their half price fast foods!!! Good thing is that because everyone knows my vans, no one would be fool enough to pinch them!!! ;D
