Member locator Map

[David Parrish]

Tying it to an account would require your web folks to do it, the map is easy to do and would only take a few hours, getting the data from the accounts and the opt in set up would take quite a bit more work.

Gotcha. Would it be possible to do the easy set up for now, then later add the account tie in, without losing what we have?

It'd be nice if it was interactive and worked automatically based off the location information the member has in his/her profile. We wouldn't want it to be too exact (Street level) but city would be good. Also it would need to be something members can opt into or out of.

I have experience with this.
Are you talking a static map or an interactive one like Google maps? Are you adding pins periodically or is the user going to do it?

Huskee has the idea of adding a locator map to the forum that shows "pins" where all the Pit Members reside. I've seen this before in other forums but can't recall offhand immediately just where that was that I saw it. I'm wondering if anyone on here has experience setting this up and if they know what's involved in the process. Any help out there?
