Loner1960: Yes you can. On the google maps. On the search for (space), type your own address (addreess, city, state/province, country). Than press search. You can zoom in or zoom out on these maps. You can even get directions from one place to another. These maps are very usefull. Which is why, many people from small communities (especialy women) like/should, put as their address, the nearest larger community or area.
A quick search of the HELP section on G-Maps explains how the hosting website (CS) can create a java based map on CS so that anyone can mark their location and it is not a task for someone to update a map for someone else.
There is another forum I use and they have one and it is useful to see who is located nearby. However, that is not a dating website and I seriously doubt it is a good idea idea to show exact locations down to street and address, just the town or city. However, for those who are reluctant to show the area they live in they do not have to place a marker. There's just too many nut-cases out there to show where you live...
I'm in Athens, Greece...just a few miles from the Acropolis, a few more to the sea....and only a short crawl to the best little night spot in the city!

scoutmaster: As we all know this is a global chatt forum and I see people here from all over the world, I thought it would be fun to mark on a world map the location of everyone however some of the little cities that are listed on your profiles dont show up on the world map. If you could state the nearest large city to where you are I will put a pin in the map for you, then after a few days I will post a pic of the map and everyone can see just how global this chatt is,
thank you
It's very easy. Kuwait is just one city, divided in areas. I live in Mahboula, closer to the border with Saudi Arabia.
