Mud Map Reborn - Community Sinking Location Map!

[MudmenekCZ]

Why isn't there more detailed information provided about the locations on this map? It's difficult to use a map that lacks essential details like the last time a location was visited, the depth and consistency of mud, security measures, and other basic information. It would be helpful to include a contact number, such as a WhatsApp, for people to ask fur

Hey everyone. Due to the repeated vandalism of the old Sinking Map (Originally created by DaBestNoobEver) I have gone through and created a whole new map, and have restored my backup of the old map. (My backup is from October 2016 - If anyone has a newer backup that isn't corrupted, please PM Me)

View the Locked Map:

Or:
(Secondary Link if the first one is stuck in error 400): https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... njpkGg9HLj
(Information on editing this map below)

This new map works differently to the old one.

Firstly, It's not One map, but Two. One can be changed by anyone (Editable), the other can only be changed by me (Locked).
How this will work:
1. You can edit the editable map, make changes, add spots, etc. (To avoid being locked out of this map, as which happened to the old one, I have ticked "Prevent editors from changing access")
2. Once Per Month I will copy all of the edits to the Locked Map. (Anyone can view the locked map, only I can change it)

If the spots get deleted from the editable map by someone, I can always restore all the data from the "Locked" map, So at maximum, we would only ever lose one week of edits if someone vandalised the map. (Instead of the entire year we have lost in the old map)

The editable map can be edited by anyone. (It does say "No sign in required" but you may still need a Google Account) - The only other option is to set it to "Request Access" which means I would have to approve all accounts wanting access, (Which means I would have to see the email address of whatever account you use, - I WILL NOT DO THIS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.) - I like my Privacy, I'm fairly sure most of you do too.

Editing Instructions:

1. Load the Editable Map:
   (Primary Link): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Z9OWK ... sp=sharing
   Or:
   (Secondary Link if the first one is stuck in error 400): https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... Dczu0dMhLj
   
   
2. Make sure the "New Community Places" layer is selected (A Blue Bar appears in the left of the layer if it is selected - See Images:)

   If the Layer is not selected, Click Here to select the layer: (See Image:)

   The Layer will now be selected.
   
3. Now you can add your place to the layer, Click the "Add Marker" button (See Image:)

4. Zoom right in on the place you wish to add, and click ton add the marker, then add a descriptive name, and give the place a rating out of ten, talk about anything else you want in the box, such as privacy, access, information etc. and Click Save (You can even add a photo of the location, although this is entirely optional.)

5. Select the paint bucket button and set the appropriate colour of the pin. (Colour definitions listed in the maps description)

   And you're done, the changes have been automatically saved!

(I might place in some custom map icons at a later date instead of the colour system if I have time) - If you want to suggest an icon to use for various reasons, please do!

Also, I have noticed there are some pins that are doubles, please, feel free to delete any duplicates or wrongly placed pins.

Either way, Get in there, have fun, and be safe out there!

I added one near Gallatin, TN. I haven’t explored the full bog and the area has a privacy issue, but the mud feels great when you’re dealing with >105F summer days

Hi! I know this is old but I live in middle Tennessee and have a hard time finding fellow Tennesseans on here. Is your spot the one by the dock at Bledsoe Creek State park? I actually visited that area in an whim over the summer. It felt really nice, but I don’t have the proper gear/change of clothes to get in past my knees. I would love to get out there with a kayak to explore a little more thoroughly and maybe find a more secluded spot.

Thanks for sharing the map:) I live in Kansas City, MO where it's landlocked and doesn't seem to have any marshy land. I've researched a few peat pits and bogs I'd love to sink deep in up in Michigan. Mud volcanoes are awesome as well.

Would love if anyone from Melbourne had some good spots to add to the list… rn it’s kinda dire here

Sorry for the massive gap since performing the last push of new pins to the protected map.

Turns out, Google, without my consent set up some "hardware security key" or some shit on the account. and of course, it locked the account to a copy of windows on one of my old computers that had HDD failure.
It took me MONTHS to get a workaround to get back in, as although it would accept my password, it wouldn't allow ANY account changes without the stupid hardware key.

Turns out, the workaround was to add the account to an android phone, in which google would generate a new hardware key for that phone automatically, then using that phone, remove the old windows security key login from account security. then remove the account from the phone, which cleared the new security key.

and now I'm back in, protected with a normal 2FA authenticator now, rather than that stupid hardware bullshit google forced on me.


TLDR:
31 New Pins added to the protected map.
A monthly reminder has been added to my calendar to remind me to perform updates once a month.
