    I was just wondering are we going to have a members location map on the forum.
    I know we had one at one of the previous place we frequented, and it gave people the chance to see who lived around them which would be a great help if anyone wanted to organise an area meet?

    Hold that thought @MickyB, I have an idea of how to do this. Back in 10.

    ___

    Right, I'm going to create a new "Member Map" page that automatically searches for the "Location" information on a user's profile. If a location is found and can be matched by querying Google Maps, then it'll generate a marker on an interactive map. There's a limit as to how many queries you can make to the Google Maps API, so I'll have to evaluate how well it'll work as the forum grows - but it should be a pretty maintenance free way of using the idea.

    Doing it this way means that member's who want to stay private and don't set their location manually in their profile, won't appear, but those who supply it will show up. Think that's pretty fair.

    I was thinking of setting one of these up and started looking into sites to do it on. As MickyB said there used to be one on another site which was useful. On the map which was previously used it is now possible to upload a table of data.

    Basic implementation added in here, going to do a few more tweaks before formally announcing it.
