If you have lost the link:

To put your location on the map, click Edit (in red on the upper right of the list of beekeepers), then enter your address in the bar to the right of "GOOGLE".

When you have located your spot, (sometimes Google Maps isn't entirely accurate and you have to go down the road a little way), click on the place marker icon on the top of the actual map (it's in the middle between a hand and a graph) and drag it to where you want it.  If Google Earth is being helpful, you can zoom in close enough to place your hive in its actual spot in your yard.

When you let go, a box will pop up that lets you give your place a title and a description.

There is a "placement icon" in the box. If you click on it, you can choose the color you want to use for your placement indicator/balloon.  (The “natural group” are using green.)

If you hate how it looks in the list to the left of the map, you can click on your spot in the list (I think new places are always on the bottom) and "Delete" becomes an option and you can start over.

When you are happy with your balloon, click Done where Edit used to be.

I do not know how to enter information on the map. What does each symbol represent?
