These should be easier to see and understand the areas.

Here are the maps:

I did my Maps and printable Lists for free.

I went to almost every places on those maps.

12 Straight years, plus a few other years there and in Rio.

But the government closed everything down.

Anyway I never was paid for the hours it took to make these maps.

I have been making these for over 20 years.

Your maps looks interested, but can you keep it private?

Anything about the USA Will be checked.

So, I don't post anything about the USA.

I have been to almost all the places on most of my maps.

Hey WorldTraveler: this may sound like a shameless plug (it probably is).

I had my reasons to not use Google when creating dynamic / interactive maps.

Discovered Map Hub dot net.

It might be a slight headache to recreate / clone pins from current maps not sure if there's a one-click import option.

Free signup, plus if you trust anyone on ISG / IRL they too can sign up and you can grant them collab permission.

I had to make Private because they were open to everyone, including children.

The Goggle Security did not like them being open to all. I had to remake a few of my 50 maps because of that.

Can also categorize pins into sub-folders and viewers can toggle on off. For when you have food options, hotel options, or hobby chain / affiliated locations.

Example of my mapped out Monterrey Mexico.

LMAO? I'm not sure what you think is so funny here. You actually think the maps were his original creations or a collaboration of participants on THIS forum?

Quite a while back another poster confronted WT with links to a set of virtually identical maps off of a COLOMBIAN site. WT was not able to adequately explain the similarity between the two and maintained that his maps were original. At the time, I didn't know what to think, But, one thing was for sure. Somebody was plagiarizing somebody else's work. Though, I wanted to give WT the benefit of the doubt. His maps had been reasonably useful to me, at least until 2018.

Over the past several years these maps haven't changed much, though the situation on the ground certainly has. Some years back, before the pandemic, I asked WT when he was going down to Colombia again to update the material. He responded by saying that he had "family issues", which prevented him from traveling. And that is reasonable enough. But, more recently, he has claimed COVID prevented him from traveling, though the pandemic has been over for a while now..

As for "the contributions of hundreds of mongers", do you actually have any reason to believe that hundreds of mongers on this site helped create those maps? Because, I don't. Personally, I think the maps were create by lots of COLOMBIANS, most of whom probably can't even speak English. And yes, the Colombians have their own forums for this hobby, and I recall at least one had some local maps. And who would know the landscape better than them?

Maybe WT has made them private because he realizes how outdated they are.

I personally updated all of the casas and clubs in medellin from 2020-2021, and many other mongers have updated the Bogota maps. WT acts as is if they are his own creation, and no, they are originally from don Colombia. Either way, that's not right what he's doing.

[Eszpresszo]

Are the maps seriously private now?

After the contributions of hundreds of mongers, world travel decides to make it private because his pension is running low?

What an effing joke lmao.

First trip to Bogota tonjght but I can't get the maps to open😟.

The guy has taken the piss and blocked them now asking payment to access it.

Try this one https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer....06268815&z=15

As you guys report the places, I am putting dates on the top line:

[SankarShetty]

I have been to 74 Countries.

I started making these maps and Lists since 2000.

Use buymecoffee or some such platform and take your maps out of circulation for general public. Put $10 per person fee for maps. Your maps probably contribute to the exodus of weekend warriors and facilitate a ton of business for UTR places. On top of it the guys like the ones below are berating you for not updating.

Even as inaccurate as they are. I find Bog map to be 60 to 65 % accurate, I am grateful!

[HombreIndio]

It's called Tantra Bar. Very affiliated / probably same owner. The guys on the street trying to get you in say it's the same. Bar doesn't have their own rooms, so you walk over next door. It's also 60 k instead of 50 for medio. My experience is it's not bbj included, but extremely happy with the negotiated additionals. Very very happy. At an overall lower price.

Yes. Same owner. I went to the old place on Sunday and I was told that all the chicas are in the Tantra Bar. The manager lady told me that it's the same organization.
