Title: Member locations
Post by: The General on November 02, 2013, 11:56:44 PM

Anyone have experience with zeemaps? Here it is used by xs1100 forum. Whoever wants to put up a flag near their location can do so. Pretty handy for new members etc. Me thinks it would be good Downunder and terrific globally....But I`m not much of a Geek.

I vaguely remember a mapping site for the FJ members.
It was done a number of years ago, and I don't remember the URL.
Maybe someone else with less oldtimers' memory will remind us.

I realize this is in the Down Under forum, but the idea of a membership map for the whole world would be very interesting to see where we all are and how far and wide we spread out.

If I knew how to make one, I would, but I suffer from a lack of geekness.

Yeah, in retrospect I picked the wrong topic heading really. The link I put up was the global membership. ..Just had to be scrolled out. I was really hoping this develops...and it looks like that`s happening.  :good2:
I think this will be sooooo interesting and add so much more meaning to many posts.  (popcorn)

I added the following for wayward riders that may need help:

"Garage, tools, trailer" -and I added my cell phone.

This was the type of information that was available through the Yahoo group map as I recall.

When you submit your entry a window pops up and gives you a URL with a code at the end, this is how you can make changes to your information.

No competition, I was simply referring that Queensland would have more members than any other state in Australia.
