Step 2. We will then place a copy of the document on our server and the list the event on the appropriate Trial Index (as described above) with a link to the document which users will then be able to download to read.

To improve the chances of competitors and others turning up at the right location, safely and on time, we can include a Google MAP link in your Forum Trials Index listing. By adding a MAP link, users can then select the "Get Directions" button to produce detailed step by step directions to the venue from any starting location. It may not always be appropriate to release venue information early, but if and when it is, here's how...

To have a 'MAP' link added to the Trials Index listings -

A) Simply email the street address for the trial venue to Admin at retrievingaustralia@gmail.com with event and date details and we will happily insert a 'MAP' link into your listing on the Trials Index page, or

B) If the location is off-the-beaten-track a little (e.g. well inside a property) then follow these steps:

1. Open Google Maps - https://maps.google.com.au.
2. Find the exact location of your Trial's meeting place on screen, and place your mouse cursor over it.
3. Right-click your mouse, then click on the "What's here?" option in the dialog box that pops up.
4. Look at the Google Search line/box. You should see a number like this -33.708646,149.855564. This is the latitude and longitude coordinates for that spot.
5. Email this number to Admin at retrievingaustralia@gmail.com with event and date details and we will happily insert a corresponding 'MAP' link into your listing on the Forum Trials Index page.
