**Steem Atlas** is alive and a great project. Did you notice it? What if you have a slow, old phone or an annoying internet connection or both? How to deal with it and pin your post on the map?

If you deal (at times) with a slow internet connection, phone or both [Steem Atlas](https://steematlas.com) can be a burden since it's hard to load with all the data. Does this mean that the Atlas can only be used by those with a great computer and a fast internet connection? No, no and no, that is at least not now. ### My main problem is loading the Atlas. At my first try I thought nothing happend so I left and after hours I noticed the map was loaded. I added the pin with a lot of struggles because it was **click the pin first** and **next search the location** which is hard if not impossible because as I finally found the exact location the pin option disappeared.😥 ## My second pin I finished today around 8 am Adding the link to the post included meaning it took me about 30 minutes. **For the 2nd try** _(actually it is the 3rd, the code didn't show as I tried to paste it at the bottom of my post. I used the laptop of a child)_ **I was prepared! ** - The post was written and I saved the link in Telegram - saved messages. - I loaded Steem Atlas which is still an "open" page in my browser

It's helpful because I have to be at about the same spot.}

Wrong name! I changed it but what about the code?}

- I went to Telegram to click on the link to see the post I like to add to the atlas.

I edited the post and left a note plus the copied link or actually 2 links since I changed the name of my pin I also changed the word in the link. Is this needed?
How to check if it all worked? I don't know but I guess it did since I see the pin which of course, can be a trick of the browser which doesn't load or refreshes fast. Note: There are plenty of posts pinned in the Netherlands but the Atlas doesn't show a single one unless you zoom and zoom and zoom in till nearly the max of what is possible. Instead of searching for a name it would be helpful if I can search for a country, provence or better a place. Scrolling over the map to search the right location is a task that takes 1 hour unless I just drop the pin somewhere...
_{If you like to know it took me 1+ hour to make this post. I'll might edit later
