Apologies in advance if this is totally in the wrong place - I am useless at figuring out where things go

I created a map for the July filers so we can see where our US locations will be and I thought it would be a nice idea to create one for those of us originally from the UK as well. I'm not trying to be exclusive in any way - I just think it would be cool to see where we all are or where we are going to end up as it would be cool to maybe get together if some of us are near to each other.

If anyone is interested in creating a site-wide map then please go for it or let me know and I will make a whole Visa Journey one so we can see where *everyone* is!!

Anyway - UK peeps the site is:

http://quikmaps.com/

Username: UKFilers
Password: VisaJourney

Here is the map:

Enjoy!

And again - let me know if you think we should make a site-wide one - I think it would be cool

I've added myself and I think (hope) I did it right.

I have my fiance and I on the map. It's pretty awesome however I didn't see any other marks in the UK except for my fiance.

I think they are just being used to show where everyone will be living once they enter the US I have added some more instructions to the actual map now so hopefully it will be easier to use

What a great idea...got mine on - this should be fun to watch develop

I think I did it right...

Our future (temporary) home is now on there... Hopefully we make it through the next 18 days over to the other side!

I cant seemt o figure out how to place a pin! lol

Nevermind - I got it

Where's my pin gone? It was there a minute ago....

There.... I made a new one!

Thank you very much!

I did it, with a fancy pin!

You can use the 'immigration timeline' function of VJ to locate anyone from the UK who has ever taken the time to complete their personal VJ timeline. All you have to do is mess around with the filters and voila!

It won't tell you where everyone is living in the US, but it will help you locate and make VJ friends with others from the UK.

*works for any country btw*

Yeah, but it won't give you a pretty map, will it?

I can't click your fancy pin! And you live far too near the sea.... s'not fair.

Fixed.

Someone needs to redesign that sitenav!

Hee hee -- me too! We are the weird guitar people in Southern CT.

I added me and my fiancee to it.

Added.

We're added. Jeraly, I think this was a great idea! Its fun to see the pins all over the map!

That's really fun and informative.....thanks. I HAD to choose the tea pot!

How fun! Got us on there as well!

woohoo i did it! i think....

Woot! Fun fun! I marked Stephen (Belfast) and myself (Birmingham, AL) with U2 iPod icons!

I didn't see any teapot!!

it's up by michigan, I laughed when I saw it!

What I meant was that we wanna be a teapot too!!!

Nope.

But..........there used to be one on here somewhere. Back in the dark ages. I remember pinning it.

It looks like I live in Mexico! lol!

Couldnt figure it out at first once i had my coffee i was good to go

Most of those 'fancy' pins aren't clickable - oi, people with fancy pins, sort 'em out so we can see who you are!

I did it - or at least I think I did. I wanted to show that I was closer to the sea than Devilette.

Can't see you!

And Tam's not the only one who appears to live in Mexico...

Hmmm...I thought mine was clickable. Must go and check. Also put in one for our current flat in N19!

I think yours & Dev's were the only ones I could click!

That is awesome!

We are the Crab in Orando

Where is your pin, smarty pants? It's gone!

Fancy pin peeps - there's ANOTHER box you need to click to edit, it's ON the actual pin.

Yay! So glad this is working! It all shows up on my website as well - I have added the maps to one of the pages on our story so I can keep track easier as I have made three accounts!

And who is Robin and hubby?! I was beginning to think I was the only SoCal-er out there!!

I'm in the northern midwest in no-man's-land so far...is nobody else anywhere near me??

Think that worked. We're on Lake Huron.

Has anyone else tryed this on a Mac in Safari. I place the pin, click it to add my name, click the blue x box. Then I hit save. Nothing. Sorry too fustrating

OK I'm on there.

PS Works in Camino on the Mac, didn't try Safari

Now that I see where you live I can understand why searches for certain quality foodstuffs have been futile.

Found yer pin, but it won't do the clicky thing!

Sorry still nothing. Do you click on save when your done? Does it take you to another screen? Because nothing happens when I hit the save.

Hey - I've added a note to my sig so if anyone wants to be added and is having trouble, or if they have added themselves but the info isn't showing on their pin then just drop me a PM with your username and real names (if you want to) and where you will be living in the US and I will add you to both the UK Filer and Visa Journey maps. And if you're a July filer then I will add you to that as well!!!

You're right down the road from where Steph grew up.

Added us. It's not spot on, but close enough.

Odd. I see someone filled it in for me, I updated it with a little more info.

PS robinklake, we might not have any UK foods, but we have a 110,000 seater football stadium. Pretty impressive for the middle of nowhere!

Really? Small world!
