So Where Will You Be? [survivor Map]

    I was looking into starting a Google maps-powered reference map to put either "where i'm going to fortify come z-day" locations or "this is a good resource point for scavenging".

    it seems pretty easy, and embeds in a forum/web page etc.
    i'll start by doing the parts of Dublin i know, but i'm fairly sure you can place markers anywhere.

    if there's interest i'll set it up good and proper, so everyone on this forum can access it.

  • Sounds good to me, but I think that some of us will have locations identified that they won't want to divulge! ;):p

    sounds like a cool idea. Ill have to put a few dummy place marks though. Just in case the feckers are using boards to gather intel.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭LD 50


    I think it'd take a long time for them to develop that kind of awareness, a la Land of the Dead. And Boards would be long down by then. Either that or kept up by an armed contingent in an underground bunker to use as an information on zeds numbers and locations, safe zones and weapon caches

    here's the link.

    i've marked a few places in dublin, however you can basically zoom out to the world, if needs be.

    also, this isn't a 'here's my secret base' map, moreover, a list of places where you know useful supplies are, for example i've marked off heiton's yard [a builder's providers yard] and the esplanade [civil defense training yard] where there's military trucks, jeeps, first aid kit, etc.

    remember, if you work in a city, but don't live there, the resources could come in handy to other people. i've yet to figure out how to allow other people to edit it, so bare with me...

    I think everyone will mention their old secondary school. in fairness, they are usually surrounded by fences or walls, have a cafeteria and science labs, workshops and the like. plus desks and lockers make for easy barricades.

    I will be in the depths of the Alaskan interior. No zombies will ever be active up there as they will be frozen for 7 months of the year.

    haha




  • +1 to the sticky idea. Don't want this thread to disappear into the mists of old threads!


    Kromdar, kudos to you, this idea really works well!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,523 ✭✭✭✭Nerin


    Consider it stickied. I'll probably do it at 10 or so.

    the bailey lighthouse in howth.
    jet way for boats

    wide perimeter with unobstructed views for about 200 meters and then even more when your on the top of the lighthouse and only one land entrance that is a bottle neck.
    i think best place in dublin once you have the weapons and supplies, and then its just a quick boat ride into dublin city.

    I'll be heading for Northern Russia. Nice and cold to keep the zombies' brains frozen, I'm sure the Russians have plenty of heavy artillary and more vodka than you can shake a stick at.

    what happens though, if you stumble across a nice cosy cave and it's full of radioactive supermutants from all the nuclear tests?! take that, siberia.

    you need to log in to your google account, then go to the url i posted. then click edit and place your marker in the map. i'm not sure about copying markers across from other maps.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭Drunkmonkey79


    I'll give it another go, i had tried that but couldn't get it to let me place a marker!?!

    EDIT
    Got it working, now. . . . . Behold my jesus approved stronghold and possile commune plan!
