Eivindm,

Cool setup!  Just for curiosity...how long have you been working on this "final" map.  I looked up at the previous posts and it does go back to 2004 but is this final map "new"?

I was looking at the map today looking for beeks near Crossville, TN and checked our listings - and our main location, Hanson, Massachusets, isn't listed - we have two locations, the Lebanon, Maine home is our second home - could we please also be listed in Hanson, MA?

reinbeau: I'm sorry, but this is difficult to achieve.  If you make a search on google maps for "Hanson, MA and Lebanon, ME" you won't get any direct hit.  So in short; the system does not handle more than one location in the location field.  It won't be easy for me to fix it either I'm afraid since all the placements is handled automatically.

Jim 134: It worked fine earlier today for me, and it works for me now also.  Could you please try again, and if you get any type of errors from your browser, please let me know.

Eivindm,

I changed my location in my profile.  How long before the system updates it?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply!

First of all: Sorry for all of you who has not made it to the map yet.  The reason is that the map update software is on the wrong computer at the moment.  I have switched work computer, and it is still on the old one.  I Have made a made a task point in my task list and will move the software as soon as possible and get into a much more frequent update schedule.

You have done the correct thing and written the location.  I use google maps for placement, and if you test your location string in a google maps search and you hit the correct place, it is sufficient.

My goal is to place the script on a server where it can be automatically run every day, but I have not got so far yet in lack of a suitable server.

I jave now made a fix to the map adding 230 new places which for some reason had failed to get to the map (the lookup on google map had failed).  We now have more than 2700 locations on the map.

So take a new look, zoom to your area and test the "list visible users" button.

I live in Nicaragua... it looks like several (4?) members also live here.  I would like to get in touch with them.  Can someone tell me how?

Thanks

If you zoom in on the map so the area you are interrested in is in focus, you can then click on the button "List visible users".  You will then see their user name here in the forum, and you can also click on the link to their profile. 

In the profile you can click on the link "Send personal message".

I am NOT complaining...

maybe you are the only one....i don't remember any other members from Nicaragua.

your membership probably hasn't caught up with the map.

You must set the location in your member profile to be placed on the map, which as far as I can see, you have not yet done.  I made a few checks to see if something has gone wrong, but can not see anyone with nicaragua set in their location.  The maps updates once a day (1100 GMT at summer time, and 12 GMT at winter time) every day as long as my work laptop is running (which normally means monday-friday).
