Volvo 480 map
I got what I think is a fun idea when reading some spotted topics today.
What would people think about having a Volvo 480 map?
Google supports making own maps with points of interest so I created one and added my cars as markers. This way people that live or visit in my area can see and search if there are any other Volvo 480 owners close by.
I tested and added my three Volvo 480s, I named the markers according in this way "Volvo 480 Turbo/ES/GT 19XX - Color" and then I changed the icon to Car and changed the colors to reflect the car colors. And in the description I just added my name.
If people use the same structure, then you will be able to search on the map for year, model, color etc .
The map

Re: Volvo 480 map
Not a bad idea. I'm slightly tin-hat wearing brigade though with Google but I'd probably put myself on if I didn't have to log on to Google or something like that.
Also, could people please add their location to their user profiles on here? It's good to know when someone has a problem if you can point them in the direction of a member.

Re: Volvo 480 map
I know what you mean about giving to much information to Google.
The map is supposed to be open for edit by anyone and info say it does not require login but when I check it that is not correct .

Re: Volvo 480 map
I have double checked everything but somehow it does not work. The map is set to editable by anyone who have the link but it still requires users to login to edit it.
Anyway, I added new layers, the idea is to have one for each country so that you can toggle what country you to list 480s in.

Re: Volvo 480 map
I like that you added pictures of your cars, I will do that also.
If there is anyone that don't want to use Google or don't have any Google account but want to add you cars then I can do it for now so just send me the info.

Re: Volvo 480 map
I will try to spread it to other Volvo 480 clubs also, but there does not seem to be much activity other than here.

Re: Volvo 480 map
I have written in the French Volvo 480 forum so they have started to add their cars now also
Swedish 480 club forum also but that seems to be really dead.

Not sure what happened but the link was not editable any more.
But it should be fixed now.
