daCharts Policies for Google Maps User Maps

Privacy Policy

  1. Users will be identified by screen names or nicknames only, never real names.
  2. To be put on the map, you must provide me with a city, state (and country for non-U.S. users). I will locate your map marker at random in that city, or if you request it, I will locate your map marker at random near but outside that city.
  3. Since I (and therefore the map) will not have your street address, no one can use the map to drive up to your house unannounced. Since Google Maps is only as good as its data (G.I.G.O.), this is an example of precision without accuracy.

How to Get on the Map

  1. I will transfer existing users from the old maps (U.S. map first) on a time-available basis.
  2. To be put on the map, you must be a trader, and a user of Ensign eChat
  3. To request placement on the map, email the following information to map at dacharts dot org
    Your eChat nickname
    Your City, State (and Country if not in U.S.)
    Any short comment you would like on your marker (subject to editing or removal by the map maker)
