Dude!  don't be Paranoid!  Anyone that knows your 'real name' can look up your mortage online.  That's all public access anyway.

Trying or not, calling someone "Paranoid" (with a capital "P" yet) is quite rude. <_<

You are exactly right that, if someone has your name, they can get all sorts of information about you.
I am completely aware of this and it goes to the core of my point which is that it is dangerous to post personally idendifiable information about yourself in a public forum.

Tell me how Google shows a map to someone's home. I don't see it.

Type the name, city and state of the person you are searching for. The address and phone number (if listed) will display along with a Google Maps link. Click on the link and then select the Directions link on the map.

FRAPPER UPDATE

I thought it was time for another update now that the Prius Frapper Map has passed the 1,000 member milestone - 1,006 at the time of posting.

The developers have continued to work on the site, especially in trying to make it work faster by reducing the number of pins etc. that open by default. It still needs a little patience, however.

There are a number of other new features, such as different coloured pins, improved searching arrangements and lists of the biggest groups, etc. The most important change however is that you can now create a "personal profile." Among the benefits of this are that you can now update your details whenever you want, and you can place your pin wherever you want as well - where your house is, or in the next street, or whatever. This is especially useful if you live in a big city as it prevents your pin from being "lost" behind other members.

If you decide to create a personal profile, you still cannot delete your previous entry, so send me an email or an admin message, and I'll do it...

We need about 1600 members to get onto the "biggest groups" list, so do join if you haven't already!

Regards to all

Jerry

I signed up at Frapper but I couldn't close out their website and had to do a "control/alt/delete" to terminate the application. Anyone else had this problem? I think the idea is good, but the architecture of their website leaves something to be desired. Maybe it's my office machine, so I'll know when I try this at home. When I tried to upload a photograph, after using the Browse function to locate my photo files, the website suddenly informed me that photo upload was complete before I could open the selected image, and apparently, uploaded the first file in the list. I never got to fill out the "shout" box.
