I look after the rally map on google maps and it was pretty easy to set up. Just go to Google maps create an account for yourself - Google has pretty clear instructions on how to set your map up. The big problem is you will either have to set up so that its shared with the world and anyone can edit it themselves -which has some serious big downsides to it. Ie anyone can put what they want on it and they could even edit it in a not so good way! or IMHO it would be much safer and better to set it up and have people PM you if they wish to have their location added to the map and updated it yourself.

We'd certainly be happy to be listed. I already list our city and state on our Forum descriptor.

The Escapee Club publishes a section of their Travel Guide called Overnight Parking for Escapees. These are members who offer a site to people passing thru. Often it includes water and electricity. There are about 100 people who offer this. Though we've never used it, it is certainly a friendly jesture.

There's one of those here on FiberglassRV, unfortunately because it wasn't contained properly it turned into a discussion forum instead of just a listing: Hosting Network - How to find a place to stop and camp

Thanks for the info Donna,

Actually this could be a very nice feature of our community. It certainly would need to move beyond a forum into a listing.
