We need a good members map. For years we relied on a google map that @scotjimland worked hard at to maintain. Thanks Jim However this was a manual affair; every user that asked had to be keyed in, then if they moved, it would need to be repeated, then whenever ScotJim wasn't here I'd have to do it, I'd forget and a backlog would occur... Anyway I've been revisiting this on an off for ages and spent some time on it recently. It looks we have a workable system.
In your personal details you now have a "Map Location Field" Not to be confused with the "Location Field where people add things like Planet Earth or English in West Wales. The new map location field shows us where you live. You can be as precise as you like with a full postcode, or just add a town or city.
I have populated the map with quite a few Funsters who had something in their original Location Field, but "Planet Earth", "English in Wales" or "Where the van is" are hard to compute so there will be plenty of mistakes.
Only Life Members can see the Maps at the moment, if I don't get too many issues when they've had a play then I'll open it up to everyone. Meanwhile if you are a Life Member please take a look get back to me in this thread with any questions you have. You'll see the Map menu item up top in the blue bar I'll not be able to get back too quickly as I'm away from a computer from about now.
Thanks
