Have been playing around with Google Maps and have started adding some photos in.
There is now a photos category and clicking on one of the photo icons will open the photo up to view. (The icon should be displaying as a camera but for some reason it isn't at the mo)
I will write up an article to describe how you too can add your own photos into the Plakias map.
Also there is another new category, Beaches, and some more icons added. Many thanks to GreeceMad for these.
Have a play and let me know what you think.

That's really nice Paul and I'm extra pleased that you chose my favourite of all your photos to illustrate the new feature, the lantern picture.
I'll have to add some of my Plakias pics to the links on the map...

Yes I thought of you when I added it!
I have now created an article which describes the process of adding a photo in Google Maps.
You can check it out here. (http://forums.plakias.co.uk/index.php?autocom=articles&code=showarticle&id=16)

Brilliant! Thanks Paul.
That will save me wearing out any more of my few remaining brain cells.

Paul,
The map seems to have broken again. I get google up, but no map showing, only a grey expanse.

Might be a ploy, it's funny how only the sponsers can see it at the moment.

I'm still getting the google maps page, with a light grey area where the map should be and no icons down the left side.

Hi Mike,
Sorry, have been away on some travels ( work not leisure )
Does the standard Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps) page work?

We have no probs - so there goes the conspiracy/sponsorship theory LOL

Um? Well, all I got was the map of South Dakota ..... a bit off centre?
Going slightly off topic, did you know GoogleEarth has a built-in Flight Simulator (http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/flightsim/index.html)? Try it, it's fun going down the gorges!!!

The link was for Mike to check if it is a Google Maps problem or related to the Plakias Map.
Chas, you don't see the link, is that right?
It may be because you are using a different skin. If you change the skin to default (or Webber Enhanced) does the link appear?
Change the skin bottom left and the map link should be top right.

Yes I had a play with it a while back, its good fun but it won't be replacing my Microsoft Flight Sim any time soon, here is me earlier (Flying West from Denver International towards the Rockies)...

I had a go as well - not bad as a freebie. Karen said my flying made her sea-sick - I just think I went through a bit of turbulence

Paul,
That's OK, I'm still earning a living too!
Yes the Google Maps link works and so do a couple of links on other sites, so I think it must be some mismatch between my system and this site.

P S !
I was set on I P Board Pro, because the high-contrast works well with my bad eyesight.
Looks better now I'm back on default.
Two duplicates in the Accommodation tags:
>>> Iphigenia
>>> O Tasomanolis Rooms
Back to the original query .... the photo tags worked fine (and look like cameras). (http://www.chatitaliachat.it/serpe/ride/113.gif)
Keep up the good work. (http://www.minutecity.com/images-for-myspace/animation2/smiles/smiles_5.gif) Thank you, Paul.
