Map of MT users
LINKS FOR THE MAP
View the map. ADD ME! There will be a 10-15 min wait for you to be added to the map until I rewrite the data storage script. If any data needs to be changed or removed PM me. I will get around to requests as soon as possible. I was just thinking it might be a good idea for any active members to put up their locations on a map. It might help when someone is in a pinch and needs a fellow members help. Might even help with members that don't know about each other. I have seen some extensions to vbulletin boards that will automatically take the user locations of everyone and map them out. Just an idea :hustler: |
Could do that with google maps easily. Would just need a list of everyone's locations. Just get Rick to give you an output of the location field from the forum database. (probably not going to happen)
|
How about an optional listing? I might could make a full google maps page and a mobile site for phones. I know I travel a lot and need help every now and then. It might be a good resource for those who travel and end up needing a little help.

i would be down to help peoples

Well if anyone else sees this as being helpful, I wouldn't mind keeping up with a database of addresses and contact numbers on a site that isn't indexed my Google and such for the people who would like to remain relatively private. I need a little project to work on while I'm not doing other things. I've been looking for a reason to play with some of Google's APIs anyway.... :drool:

I like the idea for helping to invite people who are on the forum only occasionally to events like dyno days and racing events. Some of the guys local to me seem decent but only post on the forum once a month or less. That makes it difficult for me to even remember their screen names until I see them again. Not all of us hang together regularly like some of the Texas, NorCal, and NoVa guys do, but it might help. Nearest city location is fine. We don't want too much detail, especially after a certain parts selling member "allegedly" killed a girl and went to jail.
I'd also like filling out the location field to be mandatory when signing up, but that's just a wish. One other thing I've wished for in the past is a master listing of screen names. All that I see is who is currently logged on and who has logged on that day. That makes it harder to PM somebody who hasn't been on that day. I saw two screen names I thought I recognized in a Central Florida Road Course forum, but couldn't easily double check that or PM them through this forum. I searched but I think it was a variational difference in the name like a number added or something. Locations and a master names listing could have helped. |
On my local 5 forum we have a google maps file that gets updated as people add locations to the thread. Just co-ordinates of the house from Google maps and the colour of their 5.
First run is a bitch but updating is quick copy and paste. |
Ive thought about this. Maybe start a topic and people can tell if they want to be listed or not. If they do they can provide how specific they want their address to be.
|
Yea I don't see a problem with this.. if people want to be added they can be added, if they are afraid someone is gonna rape them in their sleep and steal their car they don't have to add themselves.
I'd be down to see who is in my area so I don't have to search forever to try and find someone. /edit.. for non raping purposes of course. |

I'll give my address, I ain't scurd. Bitches
|
I'll post mine up. I'm not worried that someone is going to drive 1000 miles to the middle of nowhere to my place.
|
Well I am turning over to the all knowing Google and putting together a spreadsheet in there to be mapped to a Google Maps page. Shouldn't take to long.

Could be cool, although useless for me. JayL, Wayne Curr, and Sbcooker around Seattle, cueball1 and I in the Portland area. Everyone else too far to help. Done.

For everyone else, check out these. Form to be added to the map: ADD ME!! THE MAP!!! The page is currently on one of my spare sites. Data is stored on Google Docs and can be viewed at anytime here. PS send me a PM if anything breaks...and stays broken. It's a little sketchy at times, but I will keep an eye on it for a while till it gets its training wheels taken off. |
