Corrected Butler Ck Map
Make a custom Butler Ck. map and send the link to your guests!
This map corrects many errors in Google maps and other online maps for the Butler Creek

with all the correct mapping, available here only.
Mode:
WARNING: Selecting 'Edit' and clicking on the map will erase any current marker
and the associated link. If you want to restore it, reload the page from the link you initially
used to get the marker displayed in the first place.
Edit Instructions:
Enter the URL you wish to display below the map in the box below. The URL must
be complete, including the 'http://'. The URL must not be overly long. If you have
trouble with long urls, try
tinyurl.com
.
Suggested content would be your name, address, phone number,
driving directions, etc. If you're concerned about privacy, your information
could be displayed as an image instead of text. This is not iron clad, but it
deters automated methods of gleaning information. If you're really paranoid,
you could place your info behind a password wall and distribute the password
to your guests. We're assuming here you have the ability to create a personal
Web Page and put it on a web server somewhere. If you cannot put a page on the
Web, you can still display a map and marker, specify "butlerckif.htm" for an URL
to retain the default page display
URL to your info
Click on the map where you want to add a marker. You can use the map controls
and drag the map without placing a marker. You can drag the marker to any
location. You can only place one marker at a time.
Paste the link below into your browser address box to test. If
all goes well, save it as a Favorite in your browser. Copy it into messages
to your guests. Paste it into your Web page. Think of a new, novel use. On initial load,
the map will always open
with your marker centered on the map, and the map zoomed to the same level that was current
when you originally placed the marker.
URL to send to your guests
You could build a page of directions with links pointing to each point like
this
sample. Hint: Your links need the _parent target specified. View the
page
source after the jump.
