This website uses google maps to show groups of people where everyone is in that group. I created a group for peak oil, forward this on to others if you are interested...

Peak Oil Frappr!

[Tanada]

Great Idea, I'm now ON THE MAP so to speak

Nice to see how spread out we are, I would hate it if everyone was my next door neighbor

[peaker_2005]

Very Atlanto-centric, that map is.

Where is the world? I just see 1 nation.

Added myself, Ohio represent!

[RacerJace]

This is excellent.. I'm on the map.

FYI those that are outside of the USA use the zoom and scroll controls on the upper left corner of the map to move around the global maps. You should be able to zoom in quite close to most of the populated regions around the world. I selected the hybrid mode as there are no detailed maps loaded for the Melbourne, Australia region as yet.

I look forward to discovering and contacting other peakniks in my region.

Cheers,
Jace

hmm the closest person to me lives in the parking lot of the warner pacific college according to the pin. I suppose the peak has hit and a giant SUV is now residence

Since it can't locate my exact house I suppose I'll post my location. Gotta keep the stash hidden

[NTBKtrader]

i added myself...

surprising to see more texans than californians on the map

[frankthetank]

I'm Frank on there...

I don't think there on any posters from South America on here...?

[eastbay]

I'm there too as... EastBay. Now there are 39.

Did anyone notice the "H Chavez" marker for Caracas?

And the note? "Nothing to see here, move along".

Too funny.

[Terran]

I'm also on, but it seems like everyone is so spread out.

Added myself to the map, in Missouri.

Seems that someone is living in the same general area as I am, in Ballwin. Their tag is stuck in front of mine, so mine is difficult to see when the map is zoomed out on the default setting.

Thank you for the heads up and link Titan. Looks like I'm the first one in Colorado.

Nice touch with the pollyanna, pessimist and doomer labels.

It's a downloadable program. We talked about it over a year ago. But I've since learned how to adjust the viewing angle so you can see things from the side. Mountains and valleys come into view unlike from just a top view. It's glorious! Yesterday I "flew" over the Andes from Peru and down the Amazon. I took a tour of southeast France down the Rhone through Lyon to Marsailles (beautiful country!). Anywhere in the world at the click of a mouse. My beloved Mt. Miguel here in San Diego lies at 32 41 50.58 N 116 56 06.98 W. It rises to 2505 feet from a nearby river valley at 343 feet. I climbed it as a kid. The house where I grew up is nearby to the north at 32 45 38.63N & 116 57 03.50 W You can see all the developement since that house was built in 1958. There was nothing between that house and Mt Miguel at that time. I have noticed some distortion by matching a view which I am currently painting with the version given by the algorithm of the program. It has it's limitations. Specially obvious when looking at something like the Eiffel Tower. Does anyone have the upgrade that has to be purchased? Is it better?

you can download the files for the upgrade from filesharing sites such as limewire.

Anyway if your interested in new locations have a look here you can download loads of files with the exact locations of interesting landmarks, buildings, sites etc..

What's the difference between Google Earth and Wikimapia?
