Can't seem to get correct spot marked

Flash McDirt · 02-07-2008, 05:09 AM

Hi,

I found this great app thanks to Mean Dean's Heal Your Church web site. This is great and just what I've been looking for in my work on church web sites.

Problem is that the first church I am trying this out on can't seem to get a correct spot on the map.

It is Hopewell Presbyterian in Florence, SC, and it is approximately halfway between this - http://www.gearthhacks.com/yourmap/demo.php?map=1135 and this - http://www.gearthhacks.com/yourmap/demo.php?map=1138

The church is on the lower (left) side of the roar and their church cemetery directly across the street from it.

Is there some way to 'fine tune' the location to get it to actually mark the church?

Thanks,
Paul

Try using this tool:
http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps...Locationv3.php

Using the map in the top left, zoom out a bit, move to the US, then start zooming in. When you get in real close, click on the exact location that you want and the lat/lon will appear in the "Coordinates" area on the right side of the screen. Plug those numbers into the YourMap script and you should be all set.

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you!

That worked out perfectly, as seen here:

Off topic, but "Flash McDirt" has to be one of the coolest user names I've seen in the entire internet

Thanks! I'm a Motorsports photographer and 99% of the events I cover are dirt tracks, hence the birth of my alter-ego, Flash McDirt
