uptheos Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Moderator: Why not pin the map as done for Chiang Rai Forum. Ditto and perhaps Greenside can continue adding interesting places as he sees fit. Same as Blinky....well done mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgriffith Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 The Chiang Rai Google map, done by member svenivan, has become an excellent resource for locals in CR. Google maps are public maps. That means if we pin and post a link to Greenside's (excellent) map on CM, with his commentary and opinion.....pretty much anyone can get on and attach any additional place with their description as well. To reiterate, it will no longer be his map, it will be public. It has worked in Chiang Rai because it is a close-knit community where pretty much every farang knows every other farang. And it is a small town. People seem to generally want to help other people there, and welcome newcomers. Little or no negativity, or business-bashing. Chiang Mai is the second or third largest city in Thailand, with a very diverse spectrum of personalities, demographics etc. I'm not sure if this would work in CM, but I will bring it up with the powers that be.

TheWanderer Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) pretty much anyone can get on and attach any additional place with their description as well. To reiterate, it will no longer be his map, it will be public Actually, I don't think that's true. If Greenside choose to, his map will only be editable by himself. And I think it's already the case, even logged in my Google account, I can consult but I can't edit his map. --edit-- And thanks to Greenside for his very informative and useful map. Hope you'll keep updating it. Edited September 10, 2011 by TheWanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A public editable map could get screwed up pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgriffith Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Then I stand corrected. The map in CR created by svenivan was public, and had a lot of problems with out of town advertisers, spurious location postings and descriptions. It has been self-policed by the Chiang Rai community since these early transgressions. If the map is to be edited solely by Greenside (ie non-public) then it probably would require some agreement between ThaiVisa and Greenside. I will mention this as well in my request.

A simple photo saves a lot of explaining. I like the idea of Greensides map being pinned somewhere. It's far easier than trying to post one of our own when some tourist wants to know where something is. It would be easy just to say some shop or restaurant is a block from a place that Greensides has listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
