Frappr Instructions

The most basic thing is to give the map or other website tasks time to complete. Clicking multiple time before it's done will confuse things.

Map Navigation

Panning - use the mouse to drag the map to a new center position or double click where you'd like the center.

Zoom In/Out - use the slider bar in the upper right. Pins may overlap at small scales (viewing large areas, like countries). Zooming in should allow you to see them as separate pins.

Identification of pins - mouse over the pin to see information about it. Click on the pin and the info will stay displayed. Click the x in the info display to close. Multiple pins may have info displayed at once.

Base map - the default is the street map. Satellite or a hybrid base map may be chosen in the upper left corner of the map.

Other Functions

Adding yourself - fill out the form below the map, you may have to click the Add Yourself tab. It seems to like city, state, zipcode in the US. City and country is probably as good as it gets elsewhere. Try to use your forum username so we can match up people with places. You can also create a whole Frappr web presence if you desire.

Finding other skippers - if you know someone's name but not their location, you can use the View All Pins tab and hunt for folks. Clicking on their name should highlite them on the map. You could also try the Search feature at the very top of the page. It will search the entire Frappr community and may not be faster than flipping through the FootySailing list of pins..
