@ NSXTypeR

Actually, the IP address will be misleading in many situations. I have several and these vary as I travel. But, if one wants to know where I live, it is on the map. Potential burglars may wish to observe some care, however, as there are several hi-def security cameras connected to a very sophisticated security system.

I was thinking that members ought to have to give their zip code and then be automatically inserted on the members map. :-B

Great idea, while you are at it tell people your address so they can come to your house and steal your gear. :P

They don't have to use your zip code- they just need to hack Nikon Rumors, get your IP address and then find your location that way.

Scary enough for you?

My IP address points to a substation a good distance from my home, so I'm not worried.

Why is my icon a dude in a wheel chair?

Let me know whether it works or not. Edit: it looks like it's working.

@Witty_Nickname

Sorry, I took away your handicapped parking......

Postman

I'm on now too, on page 2 though, alongside a chap who appears to live underwater (mk2pop)?

Perhaps uniquely though, my icon actually sits on top of my head, as the Streetview car went past as I was eating a sandwich at the side of the road in October last year so you can actually view me on there. It's not pretty, but its what I do: I eat sandwiches.

Wooot... no one from Czech Republic? I feel lonely

FlowtographyBerlin

Hahaha, it's so funny how US people always put the US in the middle of a world map and then the rest of the world is cut apart in the middle of the continent, and you have Europe and Eurasia on the right and Asia on the left.

(That was the default view when I opened the photo locations map.)

Ironheart

Uh, when I open it, I was in the middle of the Pacific which is where I am. Google try's to determine your location and centers it there. Where are you in the world for real?

Unfortunately the map has been corrupted by some jerk, so it is now valueless as we can't believe what is on there for anybody. L-)

It looks okay to me, Andrew, but if you let me know what's wrong with it I'll try and change it. I last backed up the KML file in October so if it's completely ruined I could probably find a way to revert to that version.

TaoTeJared

Yep my Icon changed. How do you change them anyway?

@jonnyapple:

Hi Jonny, I posted that back in October and Tommie PM'd me some help but like Tao says the eejit changed the icon too. Mine is the crocodile in north west France.

Msmoto

Let's see if I have fixed the problem….see if you are now in London, Andrew...

@Msmoto: Hi Tommie, The marker is in the right place, but I would like to replace the crocs head with the nomal place marker. I note Skintbrit is showing in northern France or Belgium now - somebody is mucking around with peoples markers. I have put that marker you moved to London back in France where it started, but someone will move it probably. @jonnyapple: Is there a way to lock the place markers?

jonnyapple

Unfortunately not, @spraynpray, with the editing being open to all.
No one place anything new on the map for a few minutes and I'll reset all the icons to the blue pin. There's nothing to keep someone from doing it again, though.

TaoTeJared

@jonnyapple - Thanks!

FreezeAction

I found someone in my city. How and when do we newbies get added to the map?

Msmoto

I think the map is not functioning as originally designed. We will investigate and attempt to get this working so folks can place markers on it.

RogerS

It looks like it's working fine. I'm in.
