Great stuff!

Corrections:

North of Stuttgart you have IT - Lecco. That should be in Italy somewhere.

Friedberg is missing, in the same region.

Boppard should be on the banks of the Rhine, but on the map it's way off to the West.

If you give me access I can help you clean it up.

Ciao,
Peter.

It's a great pity that Google don't have a proper road map for Europe. Impossible to locate anything on the satellite map.

Thanks for the help. I made two of the changes but I see Friedburg on my map. Is it in the wrong place?

OOPS: there are FOUR towns called Friedberg in Germany, in 4 different states.

Grant: we need to know which one it is.

Okay, I believe every community is mapped. I have moved the map to its own url and it seems to work. However, I am working off a small screen and need to know if people can see the menu on the left. If not it is below the map. Also, any incorrections, duplicates, etc

I am working on adding other locations of interest- note yellow marker in Alabama, US for BMW dealer.

Check it out!

On my 17" monitor (1024x768 resolution) using Windows XP and the Firefox 1.5 browser the menu is below the map. In Internet Explorer 6.0 it is on the right.
In Linux, also with Firefox, it is also below the map.

Well as it happens, there is only one person in the Friedberg Community - and his mail bounces - so it's all moot - Friedberg is deleted. Note I have learned since then - for the last three years or so I have been checking the location and confirming when a new one is requested.

he learns, slowly, but he does learn...

What a job, well done. Brisbane Queensland Australia is missing, it is just North of Byron Bay. It just goes to show there are touring bikers everywhere.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
