Thats spot on, great stuff mate.

I can get that map to show up on the forum no sweat but how did you place the markers, etc?

Did you just manually put them in obviously???

We could still have it like this and just encourage all newbies to go this that thread and put their "approx" location in too maybe???

Hi Andy,

To add the markers i just fly to the location and add a place mark then add the user name and location, yes its all done manually...... you can import map data from a KML, KMZ, or GeoRSS files to the map. Besides not having any access to the forum data (obviously) and from the quick reading of some vBulletin forums I not sure you can export the info anyway. I will look into it some more. I would have to study up on KML, KMZ, or GeoRSS files as well as i haven't the faintest idea what they are!!!!!

And as 2....We could still have it like this and just encourage all newbies to go this that thread and put their "approx" location in too maybe???

I can change an option to allow anyone with the link to add there own location.......i dont have a prob doing that....
Members would also be able to add the location of there favorite 4x4 tracks as well if they wanted 2

I did have a problem when adding placemarks, but that could be because of my beta version of Firefox, will have to test it with some other browsers before changing the option to allow other users to add.
Will test it out during the week when i have time and let u know on the weekend if i have turned the option on.

Cheers,

Todd

Thanks mate, yeah I do know that a KMZ and and KML are a file extension to run through Google Earth/maps. I did a little bit of this when doing the interactive maps category.

It's pretty full on and new to a lot of people as well.

I'm a little concerned about people manually putting placemarks on a map though. It may be something that Ill have to manually do.

Time just does not exist in my life at the moment but i'll also hunt around and see what I find too.

Thanks for your help mate.

No worries, i will not turn the function on. Do you mind if i keep adding members locations to the map i have until something better comes along?

Not at all mate, go for it.

I might have found one now that I can use in this forum.

You have to manually put your place on there like this one but It's fully compatible with this software so I'll play around tomorrow, get it installed and see how good it is...Thanks mate.
