quikmaps downtime — apologies
Apologies to everyone who experienced downtime on quikmaps.com over the last day. I’m currently working out some ruby on rails issues with my hosting provider, and expect to minimize these interruptions in the next little while.
It’s been rather frustrating for myself to see so many folks interested by quikmaps, and to see the site fail… In the meantime, keep doodling maps. Despite the downtime, folks have already doodled nearly 100 maps in the last 24 hours.

I found quikmaps last night and spent 20 minutes playing with it and saved if (quikmaps.com/show/147). I hadn’t signed up yet. This morning I couldn’t show my wife, but now the site is backup - at which point I signed up. Now I want to know if I can get the map I saved as a guest into my maps.
Thank you for this way kewl tool!

Hi Scott,
Email me (ken@wanderingken.com) your login name and I’ll swap it over for you. I’ve looked in the database and I think I’ve probably guessed your login, but I can’t be sure…
For future reference, there is currently no way to save a map and _then_ sign up — if you want to edit your map later you need to sign up first.

Found the site today. SIMPLY AMAZING. I love it. Took me awhile to figure out I could set the little information balloons directly on the markers. I was trying to get the text boxes to stay by it
That didn’t work, everytime you zoom in the text box gets further away, lol. Anyway got it to look nice now. Documented my Army stay from many years ago on my blog, very cool!!! http://www.dolnik.com/index.cfm/2006/6/23/quikmaps-are-Cool
