Help populate this JtR map

[Joshua Rogan]

I don't know where No 16 was in Batty Street. I just marked a random location on the map.
If anyone knows the exact location, please login to the image and update it:

Yes, no.16 is on the west side of Batty Street. I believe it's the house below the large building opposite the current location marker.
I'd update it if I could.

And at the top of Batty St, on the right hand corner, is no.100 Commercial Road, Dr Blackwell's surgery.

Wasn't Lipski and Angel's house on the opposite side of the road?

Reminds me of that joke:

Drunk: Excuse me sir, could you direct me to the other side of the road?
Pedestrian: Yes [pointing to the other pavement], it's over there.
Drunk: Thanks. The last bastard I asked told me it was over here.

Not working for me? Doesn't save anything so I've given up

Oh, sorry to hear that The map is getting quite populated now. What browser are you using? Can you make annotations/marks on the map? Usually, once you make a mark on the image it is there to stay unless you erase it. Even if you close the browser window it should remain there.

I've looked around for a similar browser-based app that allows for collaborative image annotations but there is nothing like this. The only issue I have with this app is someone decided to scribble/delete or otherwise erase the image because I can't see that there's a way to 'undo' historical deletions.

thanks for trying, anyway

It literally autosaves as you go. You only have to make a mark and even if you close the browser, the mark will be there when you return!
The only way to delete the marks (annotations) that you create is to either undo them at the time you're adding, or if you return after a time, you can use the eraser to rub them out. BUT you can also rub anything out, so be careful

Agreed. But I can't find another online image annotation app that does anything similar.

Works after a fashion!

Hm the user interface is truly a collector's item. I clicked the top left icon hoping to see instructions but ended up on a sign-in page which would not allow me to go back. How do you find out what the current red rectangles and circles mean (obviously dorset street is pretty key, but is that it?).

Any Destructions? Can't seem to save anything

[richardh]

Any 'Pollocks' can always be erased by anyone.

Adding stuff via phone is probably asking a bit too much of a task, I would think. Need a desktop and keyboard for best results

[Joshua Rogan]

I've just had a little go at editing, and have come to the conclusion that it's impossible on my phone. I thought I'd achieved nothing, but some mysterious multi-coloured scribbles have appeared in one corner so I won't be trying again in case I inadvertently turn the whole thing into a Jackson Pollock painting.

Sorry Richard!

[richardh]

Thanks all,
Someone has already started adding annotations. Thanks
The image is large but it should load fine in any browser. you can use your keyboard plus and minus buttons to zoom in and out if need be.
thanks again

Waiting a little while might help. The image of the map took a few seconds to load in my browser, and I have a reasonably good spec computer.

Thanks Sam, I tried it on my phone, too engrossed in the Johnson/Corbyn arm wrestle to fire up my laptop.

I'll try again tomorrow.
