Just a thought...

But it would be interesting to have a map display that would show where all the SOH members live. I have seen apps where this has been done.

yeah... it could even be colour-coded to show the level of participation (you know, red for 3000+ posts, green for 1-3000, blue for 100-999 and let the mass that never get involved cover the world in a grey blob). Of course, unless it was tied to your initial registration the 'grey' ones would never show up anyway :kilroy:

Seriously, I like the basic idea.

We did that with the scenery we did when I was with FREEflow. I think they used Google Earth to do that. I had nothing to do with that, but it can be done.

This is my house. Must not be able to post a KML file.
 
➡TRY THIS

You just click on your location, enter your display name, and it places a marker.

(There is code you can paste into the site to display the map. If the mods are okay with it I can post it here, or start a new thread.)

Oops... I added a marker, but it isn't where I am (in the Atlantic Ocean) and I can't delete it, sorry..! I was wondering how the heck it was going to figure out where I was. I got my answer - it can't, you have to tell it... :icon_lol:

It would be cool to have such a map.
 
...Done....

That's cool!

We can know what part of the Universe each one is at....















(Did I say Universe? Too much X3 for me ......):isadizzy:
 
Done! Close enough anyway...

If you zoom in really, really close, you can see me getting out of my car to open the garage! :)
 
Wonder, is there a way to make a permanent link to the map on the forum menu bars or something? :kilroy:

Oh sweet, you can export all of those markers to Google Earth too.

If someone made a new thread with the link in the first post, then a mod locked it and made it sticky...
