JOIN OUR FREE GLOBAL FISHING PROJECT - EDITORS NEEDED IN ALL AREAS. ADD SOME INFO TODAY! FEEL FREE TO ADD NEXT TO EXISTING MARKERS TO PROVIDE EXTRA DETAIL
Share knowledge. Benefit
from the knowledge of others.
Help add every rockbar, reef, wreck, boat
ramp and bait shop to create the world's best fishing map.
Charter boats and fishing lodges can be added too.
The free World Fishing Map is operated by FISH FINDER TM Maps of
Darwin, NT, Australia.
The power of this web site is that users can leave markers on the
zoomable satellite image of the earth.
This map will ultimately provide an invaluable pool of fishing
information. We don't expect you to give away secrets, but we do
ask you to find 10 minutes to add useful markers in your area.
Every fisherman has valuable local knowledge to contribute.
Because this map is new, much information is missing. Don't get
frustrated - make a contribution!
Contributors will be put in a regular prize draw for fishing
DVDs and lure packs. Prizes will be announced on the forum on
this web site.
Instructions
Zoom in and out of the map and
move direction using the slider and direction controls on the
left. You can also grab the map with the cursor by holding the
left mouse button down and moving the mouse. Find your country,
state, local area and then your fishing spot.
Centre the map and get the Lat Long of your place of interest by
clicking on the spot, preferably when zoomed in close.
Once zoomed to a suitable level you can read people's markers or
just look at the lay of the land or sea. The amount of detail
varies and is being constantly upgraded.
Adding Elements
You must be registered to see the
Add Elements link. Click Add Elements to place a marker of your
own. Add Elements will take you to new page.
A choice of element markers are provided. Please name
each feature and put the state and country in the title field. The
rest is optional - you can add more text and a link to a picture
of your marker as well as a link to a web page or forum topic
about the feature or event. Please get permission from external
web sites before linking to them.
You can add an extra element next to an existing marker if you
feel the first one is inadequate - Admin may eventually merge the
information from duplicate markers on the same feature, giving
credit to all authors involved.
When you have added your Element you will be directed back to the
main map - if you want to add another element marker click Add
Elements again.
You can record a trophy catch or other fishing event using the
Trophy Catch Event marker.
At this stage elements can not be edited except by Admin. This
will be changed shortly. To report an error or problem marker email fishfindermaps@bigpond.com
Spam and advertising
The Administrator
will allow URLs to bait shop and charter boat web sites if these
registered members have contributed at least 20 useful markers to
the map. All spam will be removed and the respective member
deleted.
