    For checking in your area: If people are in the same city they sometimes get put on top of one another. Click on where you think your placemark should be (if there's a placemark there that doesn't have your name on it) and see if there is a "1 of X" with an arrow in the bottom right corner of the popup. This means there is more than one placemark on top of each other in that spot. Click the arrow to cycle through them.

    The form is up as of right now (just checked). It's a google form so if they had a hiccup that might have been the problem. I won't be handling any requests not made through the form. If you still can't get there, I would suggest trying a different browser, accessing it from a different place, something like that :)

    I consider Columbus my second home of sorts, if that counts (OSU alum).

    My placement on the map is wrong. I'm located in Nothern part of Massachusetts not the south of it.

    Submit a modification request and I'll change it :) I only put in the exact lat/long coords that are submitted to the form, so if it's not where you wanted it, you must have submitted coords that don't match where you want the spot.

    I put my coordinates on the map despite my paranoia telling me not to.

    Dollard-Des-Ormeaux, Québec.

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    heh, well you don't have to pick your EXACT location :) Mine is just the center of the town near where I live. Some folks just pick the center of the nearest big city

    Submitted. I'm the crazy guy that always flies in from Los Angeles for PAX East, but has only been to Prime once. I must love Boston in the springtime.

    So much for my chances at winning the Starcraft tourney.

    Hi ,

    It will be my first PAX this year and I really want to make the most out of it.And I guess that we won't be alone from Quebec going to Pax since Boston is pretty close from here.So any members from Qc are going in march ?
    Just let me know , we could also do some kind of a Pre-Pax meet up.

    Also if you have any suggestions on things to do in order to make the most out of it since I have almost no ideas what's happening before PAX or during it between members.

    @KapStronaute I merged your thread into the PAX East location discussion thread. There are a ton of pre-pax events on this forum, it looks like you just somehow missed the PAX East section.

    Updated!

    One submission had N/A as the name, and I don't think that's an actual forum handle. I did not process this submission. If this was in error, let me know. Considering this is for the forums, it doesn't make much sense to process submissions without a handle.

    Looking at the map... looks like we need to measure to see if BFitz310 or BostonPoke is the closest by road. They look to be the same straight line distance, but as every New Englander knows: there is NO SUCH THING in Boston. ;)

    Seem to be having issues with the map. I'll get it sorted. But, in the mean time, Tempe Arizona.

  • Fetch26291Fetch26291 MassachusettsRegistered User regular
    And think about this: this map is, at most, 1/4 of attendees.

    Way way less than that. There are currently 254 entries on the map. There are usually an average of 25000-27000 people present on each individual day of PAX (probably closer to 28000 on saturday, less on the others). This probably *is* a good cross section of that set, but it's a very small group. I would dare say > 60% of the 25k-27k don't even know that Penny Arcade is a webcomic.

    Also, it appears that http://www.getlatlon.com is down again :P

    There are many other options for getting one's GPS coords. Google Maps has a labs feature that enables gps coords on markers and a tooltip, so that might help if anyone is having trouble getting their coords.

    another option is http://www.latlong.net/
