Just place the area where you want the marker on in the center of your screen. As you slowly move the Zoom up, keep moving into the center the area that you want represented. Eventually, you should find the exact area to mark.
I'm not sure that I qualify as a primate. :)
but then i cheered up when i realized that I am in a good emotional place when can get enjoyment out of the little things. Then I got sad because I always overanalyze things. Then I thought of Fletch, and I laughed

I drove by Wooster College the other day and thought of its most famous alum - Bernal Diaz.
Helen? Charmed.
What were you doing in t Wooster?
I didn't think GGC lived where his icon is.
I was driving from DC to the Twin Cities by way of Cambridge, Ohio for fun. I saw a Wooster sign and thought I would research the DIII basketball dynasty I had heard so much about.
Miserlou, what mile marker are you at?
I'm not sure that I qualify as a primate. :)
I wouldn't consider myself a Primate either, aside from lurking here for the past 5 years.
What are you doing in Westbank, LJF (I actually lived in Glenrosa for 4 years)? Are you one of the Ryan's from Batter's Box? I think I remember someone posting there that they lived on the Westside.
Where are you coming from, Chris? I'm all for grabbing a beer if Columbus is on the way.
If you click over to the satellite and zoom in most of the way, you can see the runway my students like to try and fly off the side of.
Buddha's from up there, I think.

Well, you can't see the bike and barbecue on the map, even if you zoom in all the way. But I did change the message for my marker to mention them, so you can better find me.
You know, I really like Google Maps, but this is just an awful user experience. It should be much easier to zoom on a particular spot, and it's especially embarassing because other mapping sites implement it better.
1) Where my old apartment was (exactly)
2) Where I lived with my sister this spring (exactly)
3) Where I lived in my car (within a few yards)
4) Where I live with my parents (ditto)
I can't even mark my S.E. Pima location into Santa Cruz county under these conditions. At the risk of sounding ignorant, what's all the shouting about...? ;) ...

Which is one too many. Besides, aren't there only like 17 people in the whole state?
I've got to make it as exact as possible when I'm really the only BTFer in Arkansas.
Blackadder's assistant, obviously.
As of now, I appear to be the only New Hampshire primate.
Nope. I'm (barely) in NH in the fine city of Hanover.
He doesn't. See post 489 in Friday's Lounge.
As of now, I appear to be the only New Hampshire primate.
As of Thursday, I will be one.
There's no registration on the guestmap site.
Registration scares off lurkers who might otherwise post. And, I imagine, there are a lot of lurkers.
Which is why I throw my lot in with the anti-registration crowd. No randomly interesting people ever pop off posts on the new version.
You obviously don't spend that much time in the weekday Lounge. :-)
Did you used to go to UCSD? That's where sardonic goes.
Yep. I only went for a semester though. I might be going back there in Spring, but I'm not sure. Its either there or CSULB.
Really? Whereabouts?
We all seem to have left. But I marked the house where I grew up.
Either way, you should attend a yet-to-be-planned San Diego Primate Meetup.
Don't worry, I'll warn the people living a few miles away from me.
That is indeed an exact location. I bet Matt Welch can pick it out.
What a nifty little toy. SABRJoe is by far the closest to me in Southern California, and actually lives about 6 or 7 blocks from Pan Am Park, where I play rec league softball.
I know PanAm all too well, although I spent most my days at Heartwell, El Dorado and Stearns.
The zoom is pretty crap for Australia.
Has someone posted this on the Wiki?
Miserlou is now officially the only Primate that I am jealous of where they live.
Hey Bernal, I see you used to live in Kendall or thereabouts.
You'd thihk that for the most densely populated state, there'd be more folks in that wide stretch of Jersey between Philadelphia and New York.

They would post but they are all stuck in traffic.
Well, make sure the people three or four miles south of me don't piss you off.
Only prehensile tails here.
This seems like as good a time as any to ask if any of you want some free baseball books. I've got too many here and would be happy to shift them for little or nothing.

It's much easier to zoom on the actual Google Maps site where you can type in an address. I don't know why this site doesn't let you do that.
A9.com maps have the best zooming interface, but I still like Google Maps more. You know you can drag the map on Google, right? If you don't know that, then zooming is probably a lot harder.
I'm one of the Seattle lurkers. It's not registration that's kept me from posting -- I've been registered for a while -- but I just don't often have a lot of comments to make. :P
If we had not implemented registration, there wouldn't be a Baseball Primer/Baseball Think Factory today.
Aint tht the truth.
I tend to agree, Dan. As one who was initially resistant to the idea of registration, I have to say wading through BTF is a much more pleasant experience than it was with the old Baseball Primer. There were just too many asshats clogging up the site pre-changeover that they outweighed the random interesting people who might be afraid of registration now.
What does that mean?
On normal Google Maps, you can double click on a location to center it, then zoom in. On this one, double clicking has been reassigned to a different function, and I don't see any way of recentering.
None of us had an desire to continue running the site as it was.
As for resistance to registration, we made a strong effort to just about the easiest registration process ever. No name, address, demographic information, no "newsletter" that you automatically receive, no super secret validations, no generated verification codes to enter. Stick in a user name and a valid e-mail address and you're set.
The menace of stupid anonymous posts and misappropriation of identities were causing Jim and Dan (and maybe a few other admin types) to invest a ton of time in policing the site, to a point where they (justifiably) were quickly losing interest in continuing to support and maintain the forums. Had registration not solved many of the problems, Dan's saying that they would have long since past the point where they'd be interested in keeping the BTF online.
It loads for me. What OS are you using?
Otherwise, I'll tell you what I always tell people when something that should run for them won't: Repair disk permissions, restart and try again.
And who is Danny, who lives 3 blocks from me?
I have the problem too
It doesn't appear to be working anymore, Pops.
