Waldy Map Information

Some thoughts before you tack your pushpin on the map.


1. If you're at all concerned about privacy issues, please consider the following before adding your pushpin:

  • Instead of using your full name, consider using only your first name and last initial; first name only; nickname, etc.
  • In the address box, simply put your zip code.
  • If you're really, really, REALLY concerned about privacy issues, then only enter a zip code, and check whether you're a WM male, female or caretaker.

2. It would be great if you had a photo to post. Anyone needing assistance editing a photo, I'm happy to help. (I'm very much enjoying putting faces to names. Great photos!)

3. LEGEND: You'll find the following catagory options to choose from, when you begin the process of adding your pushpin. If you're a WM patient, please don't put a "visitor" pushpin, since those will most likely be deleted. Why? The goal of the map is to show where WM patients, caretakers, etc are located.

Blue Dot = WM Men
Red Dot = WM Ladies
White Dot = WM Caretakers
GOLD DOT = Visitor (no longer an option, not that we don't LOVE visitors)
Yellow Square = WM Oncologist
Blue Square = WM Support Group


4. If you need any help along the way, please send me an email. I'm happy to help figure things out with you. So far the response to the map has been totally positive, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your input and cooperation. WMers ROCK!


ENJOY
