| I just seen this idea on another forum and thought it would be cool to see where everyone on here lives (city not specific address). I took it a step further and thought it could be a great tool for us to find not only another geek to herf with, but everyone can enter their favorite B&M or Lounge. This could be a great tool for those geeks traveling and looking for someone to herf with and/or somewhere to enjoy a cigar. I started it out with where I'm from and a few B&Ms I frequent. Anyone with this link should be able to edit this map.
Please follow this format
STEP 1: To add your city check the Geek Locations box and for B&Ms check the B&M box on the left side of the map.
STEP 2: Then search your city or B&M in the search bar on the top of the map. (For those in large cities you can place your own mark on the map. Please do not put it exactly where you live.)
STEP 3: Click on the green marker that shows up on the map.
STEP 4: In this pop-up choose the add to map option. (Last step to add a B&M)
STEP 5: Go back to the marker and open the pop-up again.
Step 6: Click on the pencil to edit and add your name in place of the city.
Refer to the entries in Utah if you are unsure how they are supposed to look. PM me with any questions and feel free to leave feedback and ideas on this thread.

| So cool that I think it should be pinned on the Cigar Events thread imo. But for that, people would have to make sure to NOT put their home addresses and only their B&Ms.

I had the same thoughts. That's why I stated that we put city only and not address for members locations. Knowing what city a geek is in will help narrow down someone to meet up with where as the B&M should be address specific so others can use the map to go right to said B&M or lounge. |

To go even further, geeks should add their names WITHIN their local B&M's Google listing so that others can see where groups of geeks congregate. Sorry I'm just a big fan of this idea! Lol |

I think that is a great idea. I'm really happy with the interest in this idea so far. |

| NebNorse - 8/31/2015 5:09 PM Me and the B&M marked... I feel sooo alone. :) Look up North and a little to the East, you'll see me there all alone as well My closest Canadian brothers are far away from me. In fact, the closest Geek to me is Brian (Bmac7754) and he's in the US, about 350 miles away.
I feel alone but this is a cool idea Cam
