OK I entered the info where you said but it told me I didn't have any subscribed threads. Was that all I needed to do. Getting less computer literate every day.
You're good.

You need to update this info in your UserCP in order for it to appear in the map...have a look at the link that Jeff provided earlier, or look at the menus at the top of the page.
I just regenerated the map. We have 350 markers on it now, so to speed up the load time and unclutter it a little, I turned on clustering. So you see balloons with a number indicating how many markers are in that vicinity. Those turn to the individual markers as you zoom in.
Should I leave clustering on or turn it off?

Great job Jeff! This is a really great feature.
I vote for leaving clustering on

My personal is to take it off.
First, it is showing our 'real names' and that wouldn't be what I would be looking for on the map.
Second, the number is wrong where I am at.
If those two 'problems' can be fixed, Then I have no problem with it.
We don't need to post the real names. If we wanted that, then we would have put that in our profiles for everyone to see.

That the complex technological problem called cockpit error. I selected the wrong field for the index. That's fixed now and thanks for pointing it out!
The real name problem was an error on my part during the last upload.
As far as the number of individual markers that contribute to the cluster total, I've found it's not exact. It's a "loose" algorithm intended to give a rough order of magnitude of the number of markers in an area. It's real purpose is to unclutter the map when zoomed out. When you zoom to the point where a single state, province, or country outside of the US occupies about 80% of the screen, clustering shuts off. At least it's set to work that way.
I am perfectly happy to turn it off because I have a pretty fast connection so the load time doesn't bother me. I offer it only to provide a more clean look and faster load times.

You fixed the biggest problem in my book Jeff. Thank you.
Leave it on .......we will make it work.

I'll be regenerating the map this evening. If you want to be on it, you need your Postal Code and your country entered in your User Profile. Scroll to the bottom and enter your Zip or Postal Code, and select your country from the drop down box, then click Save Changes.
ANOTHER NOTE! If you have an "@" sign in your member name, the map software will not generate a pin for you. If you are one of those few with that symbol and you would like me to change your username, send me a PM.

I found that I am the first (and so far only) member in the first state....That and $5.00 will get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Map was just regenerated. Almost 400 pins so far.
Please consider entering your data (see the post two above this one for instructions). If you have already done so, thanks!

I have not read the 10 pages of conversation, but is it linked with our IAP accounts? If someone has not logged in in 2 years do they drop off the map? Is there even a way to do that?
It is not a live link. I extract data periodically and upload it to the map.
In order to get on the map, the member has to add their country and postal code to their user profile.
Yes, it's possible for me to not include members who have not logged on within a particular period. Currently, I am including everyone who has added the data to their profile.

Thanks Mike.:biggrin:
The map will be a blessing for laying out road trips and seeing just who might be on the route.
(Jeff is safe this time......LOL)
I'll be updating the map later tonight. If you're not on there but want to be, scroll to the bottom of your UserCP Edit Details Tab and enter your postal code and country.
As always, suggestions for improving the way the map looks or works are welcome.

Great job Jef. I Didn't realize there was more than me in the state of Mississippi that turned pens...

Is there an easy way to find the current iteration or do we keep coming back to the first page of this thread. It says first iteration.
The current version is available my clicking the "Member Map" link at the top of any page.

Nice work Jeff. Love the map.

Very cool map, Jeff. I added my country so some day I'll show up..and I'm moving in the next few weeks so I'll have to update my zip code. So far, the new area has no members showing up so I'll have that chunk of the map all to myself! :biggrin:

When will you have the chapter indicators working? Anybody responding to your request for info there?
There are 3 on there now. I'm just waiting for more responses. I removed the meeting time and place to simplify the marker. I just need the zip and leader's name.

reddwil is the chair for the Georgia group and the zip for the Woodcraft store we meet at is 30022.

What Gary Said. Do you need the physical address of the Woodcraft??
Also my pin comes up about 8 miles from where I live. So don't go knocking on their door looking for me.

Nope, zip is sufficient. The link to the leader and chapter forum will get them more info.
I've got Georgia in the database and it'll show up after the next upload. I might do that later tonight.
Thanks!
