I have been to 74 countries.
I got most of my information by going there.
I am trying to keep my maps up to date.
I used to just make lists on paper. I did that to help you guys.
I just continued when Google maps came out. I started making these in 2000 in Argentina.
For 10 plus years, then The Government in Argentina closed all the places Down.
Years of work gone down the drain.
Now, I have gone to a lot of cities in the country and others and visited every place I could.
I am still doing that, but am getting older and don't have the money I used to travel as much.
[QUOTE=Gabacho;2869774]How come they're allowing you to spam all the threads trying to sell your maps for $5. 95?
This reminds me of how alot of news articles on Google News used to be free but now they use those stupid pay walls that try to make you pay to see the article but you just have to turn off your data or wifi right as the web page is loading then you can read the article LOL.
Seriously tho WT69, remember when I went to Armenia back in February or March and you PMd me asking for details on the old hag SWers I had mentioned in my report??
I didn't say pay me $5. 95 for the name of the cathedral or the street names, etc. What you do is you make these maps (which are great resources, BTW) from information that other ISG members post here, and now you are trying to make money by selling the regurgitated information back to us in the form of a pretty map??
I understand it takes time to put these maps together and your work goes unappreciated by many people who probably used your maps, but charging a fee is not the way to do this bro. Just like the stupid pay walls for the news articles, people will find a way around it. If you want to make these maps and help people out that is great, but trying to profit from the information you are providing isn't going to work.
I suggest you make the maps available for free as they used to be. And perhaps ISG can pay you a fee for hosting the maps or something. But charging individuals a fee to see the maps is just a stupid idea.[/QUOTE]
