It's been a while since anyone commeted on this... but I threw together somethign very simple a while back (http://www.mkrealms.com/forum/membermap.php). this is only for the US, at it runs on a zipcode->Longitude/Latitude layout. I tried to do one for the wordl.. but unfortunately.. I was unable to find the information I needed to pinpoint (literally) my members on a map. Also, as the area gets larger.. the distortion is pretty bad. If anyone would like to tackle this project, I would love to help... but more information is definately needed.

I initially hacked this for personal use... but I'll see about cleaning up the code, and releasing it to the public sometime. The current version is for the United states only.. as it pulls the longitude and latitude from the user's Zip Code (Which is gathered with Registration or through the User CP). As I mentioned before.. a "world" version is currently not possible because I don't have the geocode data to support it (really wish I did though).

pattox2k1, I would be interested as to what you have. I have experience with flash, and think that may be an interesting approach to things. I remember a while back (2 yearsr)? FlashKit put out a flash map that would store the location a member clicked on map. While that may not be as accurate as what I've made..it does open it up to be a "world map". Could you email that to Typhon@MKRealms.com ? Thanks!
