    I created one, but I can't embed it.

    I'll start adding right away!

    Okay, you gotta be signed into a Google account.

    Then, select the map and click "edit"

    It gives you options to plot points and draw shapes and stuff.

    Cheers.

    I'm adding custom icons and stuff.

    If you guys really do want to use this, or another one we make, I'll setup a legend for it too.

    Bikes for trails
    Cogs for shops
    Happy Faces for brewpubs

    any suggestions?

    Created the first icons.

    Anyone want to weigh in on the types of things we should put on the map?

    that way i can have icons ready.

    I work at a brewery we have three locations one on 40th and sandy, 51st and sandy and over in NW 23 and flanders I believe. it's called Laurelwood.

    include the yamhill pub and ash street/cpt. ankeneys for sure.

    strip clubs like devils point and union jacks and casa diablo.

    bike shops like bike central, 21st ave, veloshop, city bikes, etc.

    maybe cheap food or vegan places since a lot of people are.

    that's a start!

    Anyone can add locations. You just have to sign in to a google account, the map is open to editing.

    I'm creating more icons for strip clubs and "raceways"

    Sweet sweatpants, man. This is exactly what I had in mind—thanks for putting this up. Icons look great. My only suggestion might be to differentiate by color for each icon...

  11.  

    Good idea.
    For now they are green. But I'll probably change to separate colors once I figure out if I can create a custom interface for it too.

    I heart google.....

  12.  

    Can some people test to see if this works?

    Damn, that's great! Do you want me to host it on this site or just add a link to your site on the menu?

  15.  

    You can just host it, then the domain will be the same and everything.

    But let me color code everything, then I'll post a zip you can download and put on the server.
