Working with Google My Maps
View Cornell Planning Students' Cayuga Heights Map in a larger map
This is a map I have been working on for a planning project in Cayuga Heights, NY. The concept is that community members will be able to easily add information about how they experience their neighborhood and that information can be shared with the people planning the future of the village.
The tools are incredibly simple but also very limited. It currently requires a Google ID to be one of the editors, and it can't be embedded in a page in an editable format. You are welcome to click on the map above, which will take you to the Google My Maps page, once you log in to Google you can edit the map adding points, lines and shapes. Once a feature is added, you can place pictures, video and text into the pop up comments box via HTML. Feel free to give it a try, but please don't delete anything someone else added, once it's gone it's gone!

This is awesome! I totally understand the micro obsessions. I kinda wish I could remember all the ones I've gone through... but that's probably a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHere's one, though: extreme ironing.
Also I dislike that your comment box is forcing me not to put double spaces after periods and colons. Lame. :)

Hey David! Thanks for visiting my blog. I wanted to make sure you got my response :) Sadly, 5 months later my table is really scratched up. If I had it to do over I would maybe put 3 coats of clear wax...heck, I might even do a water based poly as a final coat for a surface like this that gets abused every day. It was certainly a "trial" chalk paint piece. Chalk paint is so easy to do that I wouldn't mind repainting it but who wants to paint the same piece every 5 months? I've decided chalk paint is not ideal for heavy use surfaces...thanks again for visiting! - Lori
