Around the World - dumb newbie question

SeattleYates

I'm still fairly new to SmugMug and Dgrin. I'm sure this is a really basic issue, but I've spent over an hour searching past archives trying to get the "Around the World" map to work (I'm not one of those people who asks first, without searching for the answer), and I have two questions:

1. I can't get the map to show up on my page (http://seattleyates.smugmug.com/) right; it always shows up zoomed WAY in, so there is no actual map -- just a white screen and message saying,

"We are sorry, but we don't have imagery at this zoom level for this region. Try zooming out for a broader look."

Sure enough, when I zoom way out, I eventually get a normal looking map, but I can't expect visitors to my page to do that.

2. I also can't (even after reading the Help page over and over) figure out how to put pointers on my map (assuming I get #1 above resolved). :dunno

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

I uploaded a photo (NYC, Grand Central Clock Facade).. and gave it geography. Now you will see it on your map You can delete of course

OK so the zoom thing - if you have a photo tagged, and there's no imagery associated with it from google, you'll get that message.

To edit geography, do photo tools>edit geography and the next screen you can look up the address. Apply, and done.

Does this help?

Thanks, Andy! I now appear to be up and running!

OK, now my problem is that when you click on one of the little pointer/markers on my map, instead of a little balloon popping up to show you the location and photo, it does a full zoom into that location. Again, I can't find the reason... Sorry to be so dense...

I am having the same problem. The markers are showing up, but when I click on one, the map zooms in, but the marker has disappeared.
