New Website Feature - Member Map


Recommended Posts

We have a new website feature and your help is needed to make it useful :)

It is an interactive map that allows you to pin your location to a map, this is particularly useful if:

  • You are organizing a local meet / event
  • you wish to know if other members live closely
  • Picking up parts? see how far a member lives in relation to you!

New features will come that will allow us to plot custom drop pins I.E our national events so you can see how far they are from you.
 
At the moment, you need to manually add in your location - or use the geo-location button currentLocation.png and it will attempt to determine your location automatically - We will add improvements that automatically adds your location to the map if you have one defined in your profile in the future.

You should see the button that is highlighted in Red and then you can enter your location, you can be vague and just specify your town / city if you don't want people knowing your exact location.

Or you can click the button that's highlighted in orange that should auto-detect your location for you :)

Would it be worth putting the map in a section of it own on the home page of the site? More people may see it and update there location from there?? Just a thought :)

cheers mate :) I will be doing some more work around it, linking it up with location field in users profile and auto importing peoples locations who do have their location field populated so watch this space :)
