Yes you can move yourself. Just click on "Change location" on you're own name whilst you're and you can move the marker to right on top of your house, if you like.


Yes, there are 3512 members, but only about 100 or so active members I would say. I might be wrong, but that is my estimate

I think the word guesstimate fits this situation best.

If you like Frappr then try Google Earth

http://earth.google.com/

There are some amazing images in this.

If you find that good, serach "Google Earth" in Google, and download the programme. It is the exact same as Google Maps, except better :D

I'm totally hooked on Google Earth.

I can't resist posting a few "finds".

52.743866, 9.934700 (An airliner low over a forest)
53.452638, -2.404727 (Weird things above the trees)
52.267313, 0.531887 (Don't drink and plough!)
52.267313, 0.531887 (Low flying Lancaster bomber!)
51.686563, -1.772561 (U2 on the tarmac)
53.477786, -2.255263 (Coronation Street set)
53.477786, -2.255263 (UFO!)

I am so sorry... :oops: They just sort of slipped out.

Coo. Smashing stuff!

Google Earth shows the UK to be riddled with airbases and hangers and suchlike. I wonder what swarthy foreign types from less happy lands make of all that hi-res goodness.
