I saw and clicked on the Applications over there on the LEFT side of the page and snooped around a bit.  they  have some pretty  nice add ons that we could try.  phone book, b-day remeinders, and a few other things. 

the one that caught my eye was :

add
Places Map
A great way for group members to share information about places that are relevant to the group. You can customize the map to make it about a specific type of place (e.g. restaurants or dog parks or tourist attractions) or leave it open to anything.
 
I think it  would be a great idea for several  maps to  be added or configured into our group.  this way we can find each other or near. you do NOT have to  put  in a full address, maybe just  something near where you are.   a map for where we throw or would like to throw.
 
I love maps and I love the USA and with  Google Earth program I can look up  where or near where y'll are.
 
anyone else interested in adding on a Map to our group?? 
 
Moderator: any  input??
