Re address required...this is a new policy with Telus, since last fall, and they're only bothering people who are making changes (or who are new). Similar to other provinces, our (previously) official address is "Coast Range 3, DL175 but this wasn't good enough for the computers--an address with a street number and street name was needed! The people I spoke with at Telus tried to be helpful, but all their computers had been reprogrammed and even when I made up an address (as we did for our Driver's licence, many years ago) it wouldn't work, so the regional district folk have created one for us and plugged it into the Telus computer system.
And technology saves time?????
DG Map
That means that they probably wouldn't take a section, township and range like in the prairies. Weird. Do you know what DL stands for, Rosemary? I have a vision of a mountain peak with a sign saying "DL 75" stuck on it...lol
Bleu_Fleur- is me before I paid up!
Here two members which need to be hunted down :)
margaret52 in Maple Ridge (which one AB, BC, NB, ON or QC?)
Tri6 in Acton (ON or NB?)
And one more which is
margareth292000 in Saskatchewan
mind you I know where Saskatchewan is but I don't know where to put the pin within the 655,000 sqare kilometers :)
I'll take margareth2920000 I think I've *talked* to her before but can't remember where she said she lives.
Okay so here is the latest map with 102 subscribers on it
10 are still MIA and they soon will populate the Northwest Territories :)
Another fun fact: Distance between the furthest East subscriber (Todd_Boland) and the furthest West subscriber (nightowl2) is approx. 5,122 km direct
Thank you for all the effort you've put into this Milan! That system you have is so interesting and we appreciate the informative tidbits as well. Ü
Since the library is dead tonight I've also DG emailed:
margaret52 in Maple Ridge (which one AB, BC, NB, ON or QC?)
Tri6 in Acton (ON or NB?)
So all have been contacted (unless you find some others).

Entered, it just puts you north of "Frenchman's Bay"
RGR Pam and thanks for the help.
"DL" means District Lot!
Heard back from Wendy and she gave her location as Victoria, BC
Unless she comes back with the exact co-ordinates this is what I found:
48° 25' 42" , -123° 21' 56"
48.4284 , -123.3656
Done, got 103 now
Out of kindness to our very quiet (and without location) Canadian gardeners.......you could at least position them here Milan: :)

I just gave you the lat. and long. for Campbell River for me and Jeanne. Did you want me to do it individually by postal code? If so mine is: Lat. 49.951090 Long. -125.20292
I don't know what Jeanne's postal code is so she'll have to look it up. She's north of the 50th parallel.
Going by the link above brugcrazy's would be:
Lat-Long:
50° 0' 39" , -125° 14' 2"
50.0109 , -125.234
I got another email from Wendy and her postal code matches the ones I listed above.
Milan if Joelle gave her co-ordinates would there be room for another pin at Moose Jaw?
so there's another DG'er in Victoria? Hmmm
Did you let her know about he RU?
There's always room for another :)
I don't pinpoint, I just enter the coordinates You folks give me the rest is all in the mapping software ;)
MG99,
Here's the Victoria plot.
Members with a "?" in front of their name did not provide their actual coordinates yet and I just randomly picked the location for placing the pin.
Ooops forgot Heatherbelle in there, use an imaginary pin for her :)

I thought given the size of Moose Jaw ;) the pins would hit the same point. ;) I checked our phone book for her postal code and these are Joelle's co-ordinates:
Lat-Long:
50° 24' 5" , -105° 33' 47"
50.4016 , -105.5633
Linda I mentioned it to Wendy......I think she might have some health problems that would make attending difficult.
Done, plenty of space to go around :)
Got now all 112 subscribers on the map.
All the ones with insufficient location information have been banished to James Bay and can help Hydro Quebec up there :)
Hey, Im on there- Thanks Pam and Milan! PS- Moose Jaw looks HUGE! LOL!
Hey Milan the second map you posted isn't showing on my puter. :(
WOW........I can't believe how accurate that system is! Joelle now I know where YOU live! ;)
AH! DId you find your ID and credit Card? Word at Superstore was that you were having some locating Issues! LOL! Have a blast-hey get to bed 4am comes early! Joelle
Milan you're doing a great job. Heather bell is probably under the first 9 in my name on the map just above here.
Linda

Margareth292000, nice to meet you. Looking forward to seeing your location on the DG map....my grandparents farmed in the Lanigan area, & my dad lives in Saskatoon.
Shannon
Think it might be my map you are all talking about. I like to know where people are.
Will send picture when I return home.
Inanda in a house with cable TV but far too complicated to make it work. Rats.
