Hi Dieter,
thank you for response, i really appreciate that.

At the beginning i was also trying to figure out how to deal with multilanguage descriptions, but users made the final decision. Maps of RC locations are made by contributors, which mainly insert places they like and which are in their reach, so i let them write descriptions in their spoken language and translator option was added to RCMapy.com And i tested it on myself, when i was travelling to Poland, i chose locations near my destination and hit Translate I know, that this approach has some limitations, some are easy to solve (wind directions), some not (for example czech description in german map), it depends on the community (contributors, map editors - me etc.) So, You can export RC locations from RCMapy.com, but names and descriptions will be mainly i local spoken language.

BTW Thanks to Bryan there is first US RC location Orlando - Blue Jacket Park

Very cool idea! I've added 3 sites for the Goose Creek/Summerville area of South Carolina.

I just added about 9 locations for VA...great idea

I tried to add some sites but found difficulties in doing so. How would I go about properly adding some sites?

ZackJones,Cabledawg1: Guys, thank You! You made my day

Arkitekt: Please, can You tell me what kind of difficulties do You have? Just e-mail me at marek@rcmapy.com, I will try to help You.

In general, to add a site:
1) Choose a map, if not listed, select World map.
2) Move and zoom map to the location of a site.
3) Click on "Insert" button
4) Click on the map on proper position of a site, new RC location will be added and form appears.
5) Fill in form and hit Save&Close
6) Repeat steps 4 and 5

I added a few sites to the south metro area in Minnesota.

tried adding 3 sites today (2 shops and 1 club field) but when I refreshed the page they were gone

He has to approve them first. Just keep adding them and he will get around to approving them.

Yes, I'm trying to check each location/site (positioning, text corrections etc.) to provide min. quality to keep RCMapy.com usefull In very near future I will try to delegate it to local map editors, stay tuned
