Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here .But how do I get someone's phone number please? Also happy to add myself to the list.

I think you need to post up the nature of your issue, and it will be assessed by the people tasked with such things, and appropriate help will be contacted if it is felt to be a good thing.
And if you want to be added, you need to post details of your vehicle and equipment, and contact one of the LZIR administrators with your contact details.
 
Thanks .got it .

How To Get Yourself On The Map
We need:-
  • An approximate location
    So we have you in a rough location eg "Luton" or if an area of a city say "Docklands"
  • Diagnostic kit
    if you have it and models it covers eg. Hawkeye unlocked discovery TD5, Generic code reader.
  • Towing,Recovery,Trailer
    Everything from a tow rope to a full recovery vehicle counts.
  • Tools
    Basic hand tools up to a fully equipped workshop- it all counts.
  • parts availability
    Local knowledge of fair suppliers etc
  • a radius you can help
    (default radius 20 miles)
  • You details
    as above post on this thread
  • PM Mobile number
    to The Mad Hat Man and blue beasty and we will send a test text to make sure it works- please respond.

Mobile and tablet access to map
By far the best way is to use google maps application this should be available to apple devices via app and android devices if not already installed via "play Store"

Android Google Maps Click Here

On android the map link should open up popup to select google maps, if this does not occur then you will need to have a google account and visit page via browser and add to "my places " it will then appear in map app "my places".

On the iPad
you first have to download the Google Earth application, and then you can download the one for Google Maps.

Google Earth App

Apple ITunes Google Maps Click Here
When you zoom in to Google Earth, the locations then appear on some kind of hybrid between Earth and maps.
Confusing at first, but easy to get used to (kindly figured out and tested by Oldseadog as I do not own an ipad)

Map Problems / Browser issues
  • No placement markers on map before clicking on a name- try another browser as Opera Browser doesn't like the place marks for some reason.
  • Radius not showing and cross logo-google not rendering radius or browser incompatibility.
  • Ipad/Safari Brower radius issues and it is a known bug, google need to fix or try another browser or preferably Google Maps App.
  • Opera no Radius
  • Firefox if you can't see radius or updated listings-clear "history/cookies " try again
  • We know that tapatalk currently does not work nicely with map
Failing that add a post on this thread detailing Browser used and Operating System and Issue you have.

Convert to SatNav
To create a sat nav file you need to click kml under Map description in left hand column and save,then go to
POI EDITOR - How To : Convert Google 'My Maps' KML Placemarks


Details will be added to map and then archived

Below is a sample of google maps and if you use navigation on google maps app- it will take you to place marker where someone is approximately.

I told you in the post above^^^^^^. You need to explain why you need assistance, and then you will be helped.
I don't think the forum can hand out peoples phone numbers, it would be against all kinds of data protection laws and the like.

And I have no idea exactly how it works, I have never needed assistance myself, but I have outlined the broad details that I understand from my reading on the forum.

You don't get someone's phone number. If you are stuck and need rescuing, then as Turboman said above, you email one of the moderators The Mad Hat Man or Blue Beastie (It says this in the post you quoted) They will then contact the nearest LZ Rescue member to your location, who may come out and help you if they are available.

Do the maps only open on mobile devices? I tried the link in the OP using my desktop PC but the link doesn't seem to work.
 
Seems to be working fine for me in Firefox and IE, but in Chrome I get a "Too many redirects" error.
