Duane (DDGator),
This is really a great idea. I've used this Google map feature before. What is really neat is that you can click on the Satellite or Hybrid button and then click on one of the red ballons for one of us (try mine, EdMan, in Cincinnati). Then zoom in with the slider bar on the upper left. You get a satellite image of the area. That's not my house, it's actually the middle of my postal zip code area. I live about a mile and a half to the southwest in the large forested area you see. Hold down your left mouse button with the pointer anywhere on the map then move your mouse. The map view will slide under you as if you were flying over it. The closest I can tell these are satellite images from about 1-2 years ago, at least for Cincinnati. It may be different for other areas. Not all areas show high detail, but most major metro areas do. Sorry to be so long winded, but I thought this info was worth sharing. I feel it brings the Rohrbugh "family" closer together when you can see the actual detail of areas were we all live.
Thanks Duane, keep up the great work!

Glad you mentioned that Ed - had not thought to explore it - will now try a fly-over of one or two of you guys - so if you hear a supersonic boom - it's me ;D

Hey R9SCarry.  Ya about 8pm I thought I heard you fly over. Did you see me waving up at you? I just flew over your area there east of Pittsburgh PA. It looks likes a nice area. I was in stealth mode so I wouldn't wake anyone up.  ;D

I notice a conspicuous absence of female contributors;
Are you out there as proud owner?

I accidently added the name twice, thinking it was like an Edit, rather than Add.

Do we know how to remove a duplicate entry?

Ahaha - so we have some West at last eh!  

Indeed we are severely short of the ladies - tho yes I do recall one or two joining a ways back.

Great, I must have missed her. There are many female
CCW owners here in Texas and I had to believe there
were some who owned RB's. If not, there is a marketing
void.

Come on folks, some of you are still missing!

Didn't many of the R-9 trucks make it past Texas?

This is very cool indeed!  On another note, what's the big deal in worrying about listing your "handle and zip code".  I mean that just by having a CCW big brother knows who and where you are already.

I can't figure out how to Edit, and ended up with two entries.

Has anyone been able to Delete an item?
