The World Birthday Map

Add A Birthplace Wizard

This wizard will guide you through the steps to add your birthplace to the map!

Step 1: Your Name

In this step you can attach your Facebook id to your balloon, so that when someone clicks on your balloon, they can see your public profile. Or if you prefer, you can just enter your name without any Facebook link.

How do you want to enter your name?

I want to use my facebook id I prefer to type in my name

Step 2: Your Birthplace

We've just plopped a green balloon in the middle of the map. It's your job to place it where you were born. You can either:

1. drag it to the correct location (you will see an 'X' under it when you drag it - that's the part you want to place)

   or,

2. type the location in the search box below and then click on the little magnifier thingie. We'll move your balloon to that place.

Step 3: Your birth year

For privacy reasons, you can optionally omit your birth year from your balloon. Unfortunately, others born on exactly the same day as you will not be able to see you. That is, your balloon will not turn red when someone displays the map with your birth day and year.

Choose your birth year option:

Show my birth year Hide my birth year

Last Step: Save your Birthplace!

See the info box we drew over your balloon? That is what others will see when they click on your balloon. If you're happy with it, click on Save. Otherwise go back, and make changes, or just click Cancel if you've changed your mind.
