A brilliant idea but it is getting very crowded already. Could there be a sub-section for counties or areas which could give more space to each place?
Why has no-one thought of this before? Congratulations!

It does look crowded when you view the whole of England map, however the icons stay the same size when you zoom in, so effectively they get proportionally smaller and spread out.

Thanks to the person who changed mine from upturned teardrops to the proper icons, as I couldn't find how to put little houses and horses in.

Where do you get the horse icon from?

An excellent idea! I have added the saddlery I am using at the moment near Ashby as she is so friendly and helpful!

This is a great idea but where do you find the proper icons? The area south of Edinburgh looks very bare and I could easily put some stuff in there but can only access the teardrops ...

Lastest news....Gizmo the Shetland has packed his bags and just like Nellie would like to say goodbye to our circus. He says he doesn't get enough attention or little people here and would like to go play elsewhere. Are there any offers...?

i had that problem too but if you click on the tear drop icon on your listing it will bring you up a whole load of choices for you to choose from.

Could anyone tell me how to use it?
I clicked on edit and placed a blue pint thing but it dint come up with any options to edit the name or anything. And it also didn't come up with the horse and money symbols

Since having my trailer, I have discovered there is a shortage of trailer friendly car-parks around. They either have a height restiction or are too narrow to turn a trailer in.

Maybe some kind folks could mark such car parks that are trailer/lorry friendly. Thanks!
