Alrighty, we now have a new feature called the Google Member Map system. This is where members (who want too) can pin thier location on the map anywhere in the world!!

Man, this thing makes the world look small, and lets us all see your approx. location. Remember no street address is posted on the maps or on the site, it just uses the Latitude-Longitude Coords for your location. So your not giving out directions to your home, your just giving your general location.

There is a new link at the top of the forum, just click the Member Map link to check it out.

The above post is copied from Board News and Announcements.

I got us logged in on the map, and it is pretty cool!

There is a secondary site you have to go to, to get your latitude and longitute coordinates (and make sure you use the decimal coordinates and not the one with the degrees), but it was pretty easy to use.

I look forward to seeing more red marks on the map to see where y'all are around the world!

Jay,

When you click "My Location" and it asks for coordinates, you can go to

Maporama (it should open in a new window)

and put in your city and zip code and then it will give you longitude and latitude coordinates (in a box to the lower left, labeled Information), which you can copy and paste into the "My Location" blanks.

I hope this helps!

I don't know how it is for everybody else, but when I click on Member Map (BTW, I right click and in the drop down menu, I choose Open in New Window), it opens to a squished looking map of the United States.

Below the map, if you click on the word "Larger" a few times, and then use the zoom tool on the left, you will see all the little red flags as the map zooms out to encompass all the continents. When you click on each one, it pops up with a little box with the member's name in it!

So I can see that Arthur and Vera (Senta) have both made their mark on the world of Duke fans! And so have Kevin, clancy, Hondo, Jay J. Foraker, ejgreen77, dukefan1, Chilibill (William T Brooks), and ourselves!

I hope our friends all around the world will take the time to put themselves on the map.

GREAT, fun feature, Kevin! Thanks for adding it!

Mrs. C

It didn't work for me either because the cheapo computer I use does not allow any down-loading.

I don't think the member map requires any downloading, but I could be wrong.
