I was finally able to see the map. Had to use a Windows computer in the computer labs at Uni. Will try clearing the cache in Safari.

Edit: nope, nothing. At least Firefox works. Also, the map has me in the water.
 
Wow.. I added myself then zoomed all the way in and it put my little dot right down the street from my house... thats's nuts.
 
Cool...

I am the first Japan 'frapper'...woo hoo...

Great how you can zoom in and get conciderable detail - the Japan map is in Japanese and shows the major train and shinkansen (bullet train) lines, the toll booths on the highways and I also found a couple of the golf corses i have played at!

I am actually abouy 15-20 km west of Tokyo so have added me on the map below. For Japan there was no exact match so I said 'Tokyo' and not my 'suburb' which is Shinjuku.

If anyone is ever in the neighbourhood please stop by - I always have beer in the fridge and it only takes a few minutes to fire the BBQ up!

Hmm... I zoomed in and it's got me on the other side of the city, about three-and-a-half miles away from where I actually live. Still, not bad!
 
Just checked out how this has developed. I noticed there's even someone from Africa - Lagos, Nigeria to be precise. And guess what - he needs help to transfer millions of $ out of the country 😀 lol... how the heck did he get there...?

I thought there was at least one other poster who has mentioned being from Maine.

Hello?

Nope, there isn't - I searched the memberlist for different variations of the full name, but no cigar. They certainly are getting around to every corner of the net.

Now, if he HAD been a real MR-member, I'd certainly have given him acces to my bank account right on the spot. Who wouldn't help a trustworthy forum-brother in such a delicate situation.

Frapper tells me where I live is "not a valid city". So, I put my USA address in Tumwater, WA. What does frapper have against Mexico? 😡

Reminds me of Win98, "This program has caused a fatal error, and will now close, please restart your computer..."
