Sending a flag
Sending flags from your mobile phone is as simple as sending a text message!
Start a new Text or Picture Message and address it to:
x@flagr.com
In the message body, type the title, location and description of what you're flagging like this:
See some examples
title@location...description
The location can be a business name, address, or phone number,See some examples
Send it! Your flag will show up on the flags page within seconds.
Sending flags to maps
Simply address your text or picture messages to [mapcode]@flagr.com instead of x@flagr.com.
Just look for the map's code on the right hand side of any map page. Also, try adding maps as contacts
on your phone so you don't have to remember the codes!

Helpful Tips
Anyone can join Flagr on the go, right from their phone!
Simply send your first mobile flag by following the steps above. We'll respond with a "Welcome!" text message, and instructions describing how to retrieve the flag (or flags) you send. This way your friends can join whenever, wherever.
Attach Pictures
We love pictures. If you have a camera phone, just send the flag as a multimedia or picture message in the same fashion as above. You can attach as many as you'd like.
Add Flagr as a Contact on your phone
Save yourself some time and add x@flagr.com as a mobile contact called Flagr. It's a lot quicker when flagging. (Read the next tip if you can't do this.)
Remember x@flagr.com as ‘X Marks the Spot’
In case your phone doesn't let you save an email address as a contact, we made x@flagr.com as short and easy to remember as possible.
Do you have a Text Messaging Plan with your mobile carrier?
Flagr is free but carriers may charge standard rates for sending text messages. We recommend you contact your carrier about an unlimited text or picture messaging plan, so you can flag worry free.

Adding a flag
To flag a place and add it to a Flagr Map, simply visit the map's page and click the "Add Flag" tab beneath the map. You'll have two options:- Double click anywhere on the map.
- Enter the business name, address, or phone number of the place you want to flag. (U.S. only)
When you add a flag on this page, the new flag will not belong to any particular Flagr map.
Adding video to a flag
To add video to one of your flags, copy and paste the video's embed code into the flag's description.
Sending flags to maps
To send a flag to a specific map from the Flagr website:- Visit the Flags page and click on the flag you want to send.
- Click the "send to map" icon in the flag info window. A list of your maps will appear in the left flag browser.
- Choose the map you want to send the flag to.
Sharing maps
There are two ways to share a map:-
This URL points directly to the Flagr page that displays the map. Copy and paste this URL into an E-mail and send it to your friends. -
Copy and paste this HTML snippet into your website to insert the map directly into your page. Visitors will be able to see and interact with the map right on your site! You can also change the size of the map (by changing the width or height).
Here's an example of a custom map size:
The width and height of the map are appearing when I embed it on MySpace. How do I remove this?
Go to where you can edit the embed code, and then remove this text from the beginning:<object width="425" height="350">Then save the changes and you'll find that this silly little problem is solved.
