Congratulations to Michael Husmann for being the first one to use the World Hang Gliding Site Guide mapplet in Google Maps to submit a site (Börry, Germany), followed closely by Dave Broyles registering the Indian Creek Flight Park in Texas.

If you've already got the mapplet added to your Google My Maps page (see this article) it should update itself to the latest version ("script: 2007-07-17 17:31:07") automatically. If not, try the Reload link, or remove and reload the mapplet. The URL to enter is still http://ozreport.com/sites.mapplet

The latest version puts a small red place mark on your map when you use the "submit a new site" link, and you can drag it around and fine-tune it all you want before submitting it to the Guide. Please zoom in as far as it will allow and position the point of the marker as accurately as you can. As a bonus, there's a Google Map icon on it that will open that location in Google Earth, if you have it.

The World Site Guide mapplet has now been selected for inclusion into Google's directory, and is already in the "Popular" section, 4th page out of 10, position 92 out of 230.
