That's exactly what the maps are for in the wiki.
First you need to know your latitude and longitude.
Then you make a new line between the map tags and add your entry below the prior one, leaving the prior ones alone.
Save and thats it.
This is the format I use for my entries:

Code:

26.063414912034293, -80.25358263521576, [[User:MediaHound]]

The first number is my latitude, followed by a comma and a space, then you see my longitude followed by a comma and a space, then open bracket open bracket which translates into "open link" followed by User:Mediahound which is my userpage in the wiki, followed by close bracket close bracket. The brackets tell the site that we're linking to whatever is in-between them.
You can put whatever you want there, and whatever you put after that second comma is what will appear in the balloon when someone clicks your pushpin on the map. So on my map entry on the following page, when you click my pushpin, there's a link to my userpage in the wiki.
http://www.bananas.org/wiki/Musa_Siam_Ruby
Take a look at that page and click the pushpin.

Now take a look at the source of that map in action:
http://www.bananas.org/w/index.php?t...dit&section=11

Code:

===Members Growing This Banana===

26.063414912034293, -80.25358263521576, [[User:MediaHound]]

If anyone else wants to add their location to that map, if you're growing the Siam Ruby, you would put a new line under my line and copying the format I used, put in your info.

As for the db error, I suggest you please try again. Sometimes the server gets terribly loaded with people interacting with the website and the db looses touch with the site... but usually its remedied within a moment or two.

I'm always happy to help anyone having trouble with the map on a one on one in the private message board or here in the forum.

You can find your latitude and longitude if you've entered your location on the general member map that the forum has here:
http://www.bananas.org/vbgooglemapme.php
If you've placed your location there, you can find your lat and long inside the "Map Me" link that appears under your username next to your posts as well as on the "your entry" page here:
