I'm there! I might have moved a bit but I guess I am within 500miles from home. ;o)

I added my dot, but it didn't place it on the map. Maybe a useful update to this would be to move it to a database set for Google Earth? For those that haven;t grabbed it, Google Earth is a free programs that uses satillite imagery, and elevation mapping to locate and mark places on earth. It'll do fly bys, and will even create a virtul trip to the selected locations. You can even input your address, or city, and it will locate them for you. I input my address, and we are next to a water tower, which shows up very nicely on the map! More populated areas, or points of interest, have higher resolution imagery, to the point where you can see trees and shrubs in a park! And being able to rotate the view, and see things with their elevation is just amazing. Once you add the location, you can save the personal database and email it or create a link to it for others to look at. Be forewarned though.. you'll easily spend HOURS finding locations, and viewing them from different angles, and using different overlays like streets, waterways, or buildings in cities.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
But here's my dot on GoogleEarth :O)

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
Using Poser since 2002. Currently at Version 11.1 - Win 10.
Have you played with the tilt up/down function yet? (It took me a while to discover that one.) it's what gives you the elevation type look. You can also chnge the scale from 1 to a higher number as well, to exaggerate the elevation differences. If you select your location, you'll also get a long and latitude setting.. if you post that, others can just inout that data, and google earth will whisk you away to your location. How much detail can you see on your area? I can make out a water tower about 80 feet across. (Not real high res detailing here.) Check out grand canyon, az New orlenas (if you want to see what the city used to look like before the hurricane), or seattle washington, Chicago Ill, or New York City for very hi res scans. Just friggin amazing. I could even see my Mom's old house in Bay Village, Ohio, and make out the room she added onto the house. (it looks like someone tore the garage down though.)

if anyone wants to add my location to Google earth, here's a link to my KMZ file: Just save it, and click on it, and it'll zoom goggle earth to my place! (BTW GE tip: there's an option to increase the res, slower DL speed but higher res.) The way I got this file, was to email the location to myself, save and rename the file, and then load it into GE.Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Nasa's World Wind is an excellent one too. It's also free."It is good to see ourselves as

I just did it. althoug it was pretty hard as my neck of the woods is getting mighty crowded with dots.. (Southern England) That google earth looks good, downloaded it, but POO it doesn't work on WinMe.. ah well.
Yup. The problem here is with the JavaScript (or actually JScript - Microsoft's own version of Netscape's JavaScript). The code is using old legacy document.all -referencing instead of the recommended document.getElementById -referencing (that is part of the DOM standard that came to be something like 5 years ago and is supported by all current browser manufacturers). In essence the code is written in old proprietary Microsoft code and will not work in most non-IE -browsers. Anyways ... I managed to put my dot in there with IE5.5 ... arrgh I also see some dots are closer to the North Pole than mine :)
Tiny, you're in Sweden, right? :o) And Gareee, not on an island. On the peninsula. And yep, it's Denmark as Xantor said :o) Aarhus, to be exact. Sneaky with the kmz file. I gotta try to make one of these as well :o)

Not many where I am either. Lots of extra space for poser users where I am on the map....you should all move here :) We could have a giant BBQ.

Hi all, Some of you may remember a feature that we called "Dot-Your-Spot" that we ran on the 3D Universe site a lo-o-ong time ago... Well, we've revived it and we'd love you to make a dot on the world map to mark where you live. Last time we ran it, we had over 1000 dots in the end! [No site login is required] http://www.3duniverse.co.za/dotyourspot/showmap.asp cheers, Steve
