I'd like to be able to: 1) create a private, password-protected account 2) save personal maps with pins (marked private and not publicly viewable) 3) add/update pins to specific lat/long coords (not just street address) 4) use multi-colored pins to mark visited vs. to-be-visited locations 5) have easy access (aka an app) via mobile device as well as desktop computer I'm not a full member here yet, so perhaps this site has such a tool in the UE DB, DB Map, or My DB section.

| RE: Google Maps: 1) Nothing is stopping you from creating multiple Google accounts; tho I've read of more discrete ways to do this (on a graffiti site, interestingly). 2) You get sharability options in Google Maps. You can opt for full privacy. 3) AFAIK coordinates are searchable, just like street addresses. There is some difference in functionality between a display-only map and a created map. For one thing, you can't use street-view on a created map. 4) You can edit the colors of pins at a later time. You can also use shapes other than pins; but you can't control the colors of these shapes. 5) No mobile app access that I know of (I guess Google Drive doesn't count). There is no such tool on UER in the places you mentioned, nor anywhere else. However, Dark_Aaron is developing a mobile app.

| | | Posted by WhiskeyPapa Ok, this might be a completely stupid question, so don't flame me too bad. Is there a tool that will allow me to mark points/pins with descriptions and save the map for future reference/updates? Preferably, I'd like to be able to: 1) create a private, password-protected account 2) save personal maps with pins (marked private and not publicly viewable) 3) add/update pins to specific lat/long coords (not just street address) 4) use multi-colored pins to mark visited vs. to-be-visited locations 5) have easy access (aka an app) via mobile device as well as desktop computer I'm not a full member here yet, so perhaps this site has such a tool in the UE DB, DB Map, or My DB section. I've found a couple websites that add to the Google Maps API, but they either make my custom map publicly searchable or only support street address locations. Any help would be much appreciated.
| If you use google earth and export a kml/kmz, you can import them into google maps easily if you have an account and make them private, shareable, etc. I used to do that back in the day when I cared about trying to share maps a lot. Eventually I just started sending screenshots rather than maps, because thats hella easier.
