How To Get Yourself On The Map
We need:-
- An approximate location
So we have you in a rough location eg "Luton" or if an area of a city say "Docklands"
- Diagnostic kit
if you have it and models it covers eg. Hawkeye unlocked discovery TD5, Generic code reader.
- Towing,Recovery,Trailer
Everything from a tow rope to a full recovery vehicle counts.
- Tools
Basic hand tools up to a fully equipped workshop- it all counts.
- parts availability
Local knowledge of fair suppliers etc
- a radius you can help
(default radius 20 miles)
- You details
as above post on this thread
- PM Mobile number
to The Mad Hat Man and blue beasty and we will send a test text to make sure it works- please respond.
Mobile and tablet access to map
By far the best way is to use google maps application this should be available to apple devices via app and android devices if not already installed via "play Store"
Android Google Maps Click Here
On android the map link should open up popup to select google maps, if this does not occur then you will need to have a google account and visit page via browser and add to "my places " it will then appear in map app "my places".
On the iPad you first have to download the Google Earth application, and then you can download the one for Google Maps.
Google Earth App
Apple ITunes Google Maps Click Here
When you zoom in to Google Earth, the locations then appear on some kind of hybrid between Earth and maps.
Confusing at first, but easy to get used to (kindly figured out and tested by Oldseadog as I do not own an ipad)
Map Problems / Browser issues
- No placement markers on map before clicking on a name- try another browser as Opera Browser doesn't like the place marks for some reason.
- Radius not showing and cross logo-google not rendering radius or browser incompatibility.
- Ipad/Safari Brower radius issues and it is a known bug, google need to fix or try another browser or preferably Google Maps App.
- Opera no Radius
- Firefox if you can't see radius or updated listings-clear "history/cookies " try again
- We know that tapatalk currently does not work nicely with map
Failing that add a post on this thread detailing Browser used and Operating System and Issue you have.
