Meeting Map FAQ

Click on an individual meeting pin (In Person, Virtual, Hybrid).  A bubble pops up on the map with some of the meeting’s information.  Below the map, a table shows that and nearby meetings.  Click on the meeting’s green plus to display the rest of the meeting’s information.

Click the “Many at location” pin (blue square) to display the set of meetings associated with this single location.  Several individual pins will appear around the blue square. Click each pin to display information about that particular meeting. Click the blue square again to stop displaying the individual meeting pins. Note: When the pins “spread out” they do not represent the location of the meeting, the “Many at location” pin (blue square) shows the location.

(1) Put the location of the meeting in the “Enter a location” box and press return or the magnifying glass.  Location can be very general (a country or state) or very specific (full address).  After a slight delay, the map will reposition to that location.  Below the map, meetings will be listed in order of distance from the search location. Meetings that do not provide a location can be found by entering 30, -40 into the “Enter a location” box.

(2) Move the map to the desired area (click on map and drag).  Click on a round pin to see information about that meeting (map may zoom and recenter).  Information about the meeting will appear in a popup. Additional details appear below the map. Click green “+” circle for even more meeting information in the list of meetings below the map.  See the next question for how to use the “Many at location” pin.

Beside seeing meeting on the map close to your search location, your search also displays a the list of meetings below the map window.  This list is ordered according to distance from your search location.

Click on a centrally located meeting (see “Many at location pin,” if necessary) and click on each green plus below the map to expand each entry.  Then use the print feature of your browser. 

These are traditional SA meetings where members meet at a physical location.  To attend these meetings you must travel to the location of the meeting.

This is a meeting that does not have a face-to-face meeting component.  These include Zoom only meeting, phone only meetings, and any other meeting using only an electronic means to communicate.

These meetings have both a face-to-face component and a way for people to join the face-to-face meeting virtually via some electronic communication.

These are filters for the map (and list below the map).  They allow you to filter the meetings shown based on one or more of these selections.
For example:  If you select “Wed” and “Spanish”, the map and list below the map will show only meetings that are on Wednesday and are conducted in the Spanish language.

There are several possibilities:

• The meeting was not submitted to SAICO.  To add/change meeting info see: Meeting Problems or Changes
• The meeting does not want its location displayed or forgot to select “Publish” for the details it does want displayed.
• The meeting has no physical location information provided (or allowed to be published).  If this is the case, search for location “30, -40”.  This “virtual Island”, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, is where put all meetings that do not list any physical location.  Search here either by clicking on one of the pins on virtual island or enter “30, -40” as the location to search then browse the search list below the map to find the meeting.  If you also select other filter criteria (Day, Language(s), Venue) it can make it easier to find a meeting on this “virtual Island”.

If you search (“Enter location”) for the location of the meeting, the list of meetings below the map shows meetings starting with the closest meeting to the location (and going outward).  Find the meeting in that list and click the little Green “+” icon next to the meeting name.  Other information about the meeting will be shown.
