We already track zip code as an extra user field, and I, for one, would be much more inclined to install this hack if it could take a list of member zip codes from our site and build the map from that, instead of lat/long.

Ironically, our members *do* know their lats and longs - they are pilots - but they arent technologically inclined and I'd rather not have them enter any more than they already have if I can avoid it (we ask them for zip code at registration).

Even some geocoding could solve that. I'm working on several approaches because I want this to be a global as possible.

I can go as far as going on address but this is in direct violation of privacy law (certainly in Europe).

Another split I'm working on is the event and hotspots map.

A zip code map is one of the additional maps I'm working on. But it's crazy to store all zipcodes in the world in a database unless you are able to offer it as a webservice. Moreover the zip code approach will put markers of the same area on exactly the same spot. This breaks the link with the user / text. and makes it less unique. If you zoom in, you won't be able to see through the stack of markers.

I know you all want this to be as flexible as frapper. But I'm alone in doing this and I don't want this to be a rush job. I do have a regular job too.

Awesome work. Thank you.

Did you not say earlier that this version was going to have different pin colors for each usergroup? Or that we were going to define usergroup pin colors?

Sorry for that I had to make the version 1.0.3 the special char release

That supermod and pin color will be in 1.0.4

PS:
Can you all do me a favour and read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=100547

I am still running 1.0.2, haven't had time to upgrade yet, but someone has managed to get two entries in ... any ideas on that one? :)

If you start clicking insert your information before the map is fully loaded the application can insert a a line for that user without any longitude and latitude.

If this is the case you can safely remove the extra line in the database (googlemap table) I'm building in a safeguard for that in the next version

Care to share? I'd like to set my default to Satelite.

there are three instances of:

Code:

var dtypemap = "c";

change them all to:

Code:

var dtypemap = "s";

but I would recomend using the hybrid mode (see above for how to) by default cause it shows the country boarders as well

No worries. Where do I look to make the changes... templates or...?

Not really a problem for the Australian continent. :)
