It's your signature- do what you like would be my advice. Perhaps a compromise: two maps, one showing all states/provinces you have visited and one limited to motorcycle visits?
Motorcycle ridden states is the norm, as this is a motorcycling forum.
Just the states and provinces I have ridden various bikes through over the years. Must get over to the East coast of Canada some day to fill in four more, but there's no desire to do a 12 hour ferry ride to Newfoundland!
Newfoundland was one of our favourite motorcycle destinations, all the Maritime Provinces are nice but there is something special about Newfoundland. From North Sydney to Port Aux Basques is only about 6 or 7 hours. I think for most it is places travelled by motorcycle.
That's still 6 or 7 hours of ocean too far for me and I hear it can be a rough crossing as well. I won't ever be on a cruise ship either. Been on the Cabot Trail in a car back in '84, but would like to do that by bike someday and a ride across the Confederation Bridge to PEI would be on the agenda too.
When I tried to edit my signature by adding a "provinces visited" map to the "states visited" map which was already in my signature, I was advised that "only one image" is allowed. Consequently, it would seem that I am stuck with the choice of showing either the states visited map or provinces visited map, but not both. However, you and other members of the forum have BOTH maps in your signature. However, it seems that both maps are shown in one image which probably successfully avoids the "only one image" prohibition. How do you do that?
Ummmmmm . . . . I forget now.

It is unfortunate that you can't remember, but thanks for responding. It must be a simple quirk in the system which allows only a single image in one's signature. For now, I'll leave my "provinces visited" map in my signature line - instead of the "states visited" - as evidence that I have experienced, and enjoyed, many of the wonders of our neighbor to the north.Ummmmmm . . . . I forget now.
I know I had a Photoshop friend do something for me with the map images, but other than that . . . . ? Took me a while to get it figured out though, at the time.
That is probably what I had my friend do and he then emailed the new image to me.
Bob - That might be an easy thing for a tech guy to do, but not so easy for those of us with only rudimentary technical skills. So, unless someone can come up with a simpler way to beat the "one image" glitch in the system, I'll leave things the way they are. Thanks anyway. Carl
That's OK. I wasn't intending to imply it was easy for anyone in particular. Just suggesting the likely way it is done. Nashcat has an offer to help there and most people I know would not really know how to do this without this kind of help. Once you do have a single image of all the desired maps you can then edit that one same as any of the individual images... if that is what you were doing.
