Map Please!!!

[goosey]

Stuart, this forum seems to have really taken off lately. New members are contributing to threads and uploading some amazing new images into the gallery from all over. Would it be possible to have a world map like on WAB?
I think it would be interesting, I'd love to see where they are .

[StuartDH]

yep, I think we could manage that. It shouldn't take me too long to setup so hopefully one done later today/tomorrow

Yes, that would be very interesting.
It will, of course, depend on people feeding into it ....

As a 'by-the-way', I think it would be very good if people could include their locality in their personal data but also when uploading pictures. I suppose that the best thing would be town, province/county/region, country - in many ways the middle one is the most important - Russia, China, Canada, Brazil are enormous countries so a bit more detail is useful!

On the other hand, some of the most mystifying locations I've found here are in the UK so detail is helpful ... and I know that I forget to do it often enough!

Looking forward to a big map

I shall just cover myself here , when I say "North Holland" on my posts or photos - I mean it as one of the 12 Dutch provinces and not the North of the country .
Actually there are 2 provinces further North than us!

The location map on LiveJournal is run by google maps. You just enter your address or place where you took a photo and it will pin-point you

Thanks Stuart, I added me, but can only see a Manchester area "balloon" on the main map and have to go to Edit your location to see my ballon at all. Is there a reason for not having our names on the ballon? Sorry to be a pest, but I hoped to be able to see the world map plus balloons at the same time and then zoom in on the areas like the WAB one.

Paul -did you put yourself on? As I cant see you at all, unless you have moved to Manchester .

My one was properly located but has now disappeared or blown over Manchester ..... mmmmm ... actually, when I go through the edit link, my Sheffield balloon is in the proper place - as Goosey's

Thanks for putting the map on Stuart.
I've added my balloon and so far I can see 5 altogether.
Anymore takers?.....It will be really good to see where all the different members are all across the world!
