Due to popular demand here is a map for you to put yourself on.

um... probably just being thick.. but how do I add my local eco shop onto the map once I've added myself??? When I click to 'add' it just comes up with my own entry.

Yep slight glitch with that I thought that it would do a lot more than it actually does. - The only way around it that I can see is a bit fiddly, it means joining as a new member called "my local shop" - and placing that on the map. I will contact them and see if there is any plans to make this easier in the final version as they are still in Beta (proto type).

Interestingly we now all live in cities! Durham was the nearest I could enter to Bishop Auckland - it always was on the end of the supply line being the market town for Weardale, described by Bellamy as The Last Wilderness! A great idea. Sue

If you are not happy with the city that it puts you in you can move it to nearer where you actually live.

Okey-dokey. Well, I've just added myself to the Frapr map. So, am I alone across the pond here in the U.S.?

Hi Herbal Monkey, and welcome!

Have a look at the other threads on this forum, you'll find you are not the only one from across the pond. Not everybody has mapped themselves yet.

Looks like it we have had some U.S. members who drop in from time to time.
