Perhaps this if you're restarting the project... https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-cr ... ogle-maps/

Alright, I looked into that, and apparently you need to be signed in to Google Maps to add your own little location marker.
BUT NOT TO WORRY! It would seem that it doesn't shout out your email, so yay! But for anyone who doesn't want to worry about that, I'll be adding location markers for people who say their location in this thread, so... my email will be known? Maybe?

Is great though, Zircher! Will definitely switch to it.

Splendid! Location as follows:

Inaccessible Island
Tristan da Cunha
South Atlantic
37.296° S, 12.706° W

If there's any choice of markers, I'd like a pagoda.

Added!
Unfortunately, though there is a great choice of markers, there is no pagoda.

Slough
England
51.5105° N, 0.5950° W

I'd like a dragon if there is one

Added you, RIngu! Unfortunately, there is no dragon... Really sad. No dragon, no pagoda... WHAT IS THIS!? But at least you're in.

Added myself and my brothers, and added Charley Deallus back, as I've visited him a couple times.

Is there a link to the new map somewhere? Must be getting old...

Anyway, you can add me in Frenkendorf, Switzerland, on the top of the village.
47.502 7.702

Thanks!

I added me because I liked this idea and I'm sad the old map is gone, oh no

Me too. Oh no

Also, latest xkcd:

While I'm not a fan of Google, I'm glad the old map is replaced.

And thank you, Detritus, for the adds. Please throw me down a marker roundabouts 32.74, -97.42.

(Also not a fan of xkcd, but I couldn't help but work out that those coordinates -- 28.52345 N, 80.68309 W -- point to a specific rocket memorial (?) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.)

Nice! I pinned from centrally located OKC. Not quite a desert for game development, but not a hot bed either.

48°11'N
15°54'E

I added myself

In one of those odd coincidences, Inaccessible Island <wave to Cody> came up in a book excerpt I was reading today.

It was the site in 1821 of one of the more (though not entirely) successful cases of shipwrecks -- "successful" in the sense that most of the castaways survived and were rescued.
