Map with member location.

[FonterraFarmer]

Would it be a good idea to have a map either of the UK and Ireland or the world (Like on MyValtra) showing the location of forum members?Just to give some of us ourside the UK and EU where other forum members are located?

+1 sounds like a good idea to me!

If possible, could we have user name and location on the map rather than just a dot on the map?

It will be interesting, will there be a even spread or more members from certain areas?

Aye, now then, how about a map overlay of post proliferacy by region? Then we'll see which areas have the gobbiest members

Map or a spiders web. Seriously why not based on server location as address details here now are not much use. Cripes even my phone can find me by google not GPS co-ordinates to within 50 metres.

Server locations are useless , IIRC my server address is Timaru, and I'm no where near Timaru!

Agree, my server address has me in the next county, I have a certain program that could put me anywhere.

You do all know that already if you click on a members location in their avatar and they have listed it as a real place, a google map page will open showing you where that is ?

No, as a user of the android app, clicking on member information produces nothing more than pretty blue flashes on the screen (when the display is set to dark mode )

Actually that does work, Clive, but its only as good as the location that is given.

Doesn't work on app it seems - does in any browser though

Proper map would be better as suggested do we will do our best to sort

What happens if someone wants to stalk us? I would hate poor Grumpy to be killed by a mad man in response to one of his posts.

Note: I do know that I have the crappiest username around and that I can be found via google in seconds. I wish I had went for something mysterious like Flossie or Grumpy?

Dethra will enjoy visiting some of the dots on November the 5th after all we knows where the best parties are
