VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 We have a new website feature and your help is needed to make it useful It is an interactive map that allows you to pin your location to a map, this is particularly useful if:You are organizing a local meet / eventyou wish to know if other members live closelyPicking up parts? see how far a member lives in relation to you!New features will come that will allow us to plot custom drop pins I.E our national events so you can see how far they are from you. At the moment, you need to manually add in your location - or use the geo-location button and it will attempt to determine your location automatically - We will add improvements that automatically adds your location to the map if you have one defined in your profile in the future. Go check it out using the following link! It also works on mobiles too!http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/membermap/ Feel free to feedback / comment if you want sam_vr6, redvr6_girl, PeteVRT and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
RYANVR6 2 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've managed to zoom on my house but how do I drop a pin to say where I am Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've managed to zoom on my house but how do I drop a pin to say where I am Hi mate, you just click the button that says "Add Location" at the top right corner of the map. Link to post Share on other sites
RYANVR6 2 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 My crappy internet covered half of the button with the main menu. Perhaps I should get the app instead of using browser:-/ Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 You should see the button that is highlighted in Red and then you can enter your location, you can be vague and just specify your town / city if you don't want people knowing your exact location. Or you can click the button that's highlighted in orange that should auto-detect your location for you Link to post Share on other sites
PeteVRT 22 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've done mine, takes a while to zoom in and load up but that's probably my computer. Its good to see where abouts others live, for local meets and shows. Good idea VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 It will only get better guys got some good ideas for this too and will become a great asset to the club if people keep on adding locations. Club Chairman Link to post Share on other sites

cactusjackslade 146 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Would it be worth putting the map in a section of it own on the home page of the site? More people may see it and update there location from there?? Just a thought VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just a thought cheers mate I will be doing some more work around it, linking it up with location field in users profile and auto importing peoples locations who do have their location field populated so watch this space cactusjackslade 1 Link to post Share on other sites
