How do I use google maps so my friends can all add their locations on the map?

Q. Some forums have google maps so everyone can add where they live on the map? How do I use this? or sign up for it?

A. Google Maps has a feature called "My Maps" which you can use. Steps:
1) Go to Google Maps.
2) Click the "My Maps" tab
3) Click "Create new map" link (right under the tabs)
4) Name the map something like "Awesome group of friends"
5) Near the top of the map next to the navigation arrows, you can see tools including the "Add a placemark" tool.
6) Put a placemark on your location.
7) Next you want to invite your friends to also add their locations. Click the "Collaborate" link. It is on the left just above the title of your map.
8) Enter the email addresses of your friends so they can also add their locations to the map.
9) Make sure you click the "Save" button and then then "Done" button.

Is it possible to file a law suit against google- maps for violating my privacy?
Q. Google maps now has a street view format to its maps, which makes it possible for anyone to SEE what your house looks like from the street, that's on top of them already showing you what is exposed to the open air on your driveway and yard, etc. Is there some sort of law that would prohibit google from showing what a private residence looks like?

A. I doubt it. And it's not just Google; MSN, Yahoo, and other search engines make it easy to get a satellite view of where you live, what the neighborhood looks like, and so on.

It's creepy, and it's our Big Brother coming to light. Way too many cameras if you ask me.

Why are there crater like structures in area 51?
Q. When you look at google virtual earth and live maps you can see crater like structures as if something heavy fell there. what happened there?

A. There are two reasons the first is the above ground nuclear testing, the second there is a set of actual meteor craters. They are from the late Devonian and are being studied by the University of Idaho Geology Department. Well the effects of the impact are being studied on the surrounding, they are not aloud to go into area 51 and look at the actual craters.
