Member Map

[piratepants]

Had a quick search, forgive me if I've missed anything!

 

A member map would be great, we have one on a poi/staff/juggling forum I'm a member of, one where we can all place a "pin" in the map and say who and where we are.

 

Thanks, Jim.

There is something similar on another members mapping website.

The map you refer to is fine for those members that want to participate, but I guess a lot of members won't want to be found - one of the benefits of boating.

I've already got one..........

Mah.

- Thats actually a bloody good idea. Thread title caught my eye a mile off.

- Certianly something to look into if people are interested in that idea?

- See if we can get it to intergrate with the existing forum and location fields or somthing.

 

Seams theres a googlemaps based product for vB forums (vBgooglemap) and also for SMForums at least.

Yeah! that'd be cool... where as Malc's was a pioneer with the idea, I think it'd be best if the map concentrated on the UK mainly, but also with another section for our friends over in Aus, and in the US and various other places

 

As a quick thought, before I clicked on "Submit" it'd be a great if we could pin the members on a map of the UK canal network!

I can easily expand the Water Explorer site to include this if you all want it. Sort of already does it here...

You'd need a very big pin to keep me attached to the wall!

 

Edited to say: a pretty sturdy wall too!

For Continuous Cruisers it'd have to be like the Marauders' Map in Harry Potter!

 

Great idea though - let's have a members' map please
