Just bumping this thread as I've upgraded our googlemap (member locations) page. The new features include the ability to see the list of members who have added their link... which means you can now go and click on the link "Show on Map" link next to the members name and be to be taken directly to that members location.

You will also notice that the resolution of many areas is now more defined. We even have most of our own Tamborine Mountain shown in high definition (satelite view).

If you have added your location before and would like to move it... I had my location about 60kms from where we actually are... you can just go to the "your entry" link and update your location. The only thing that differs from the old map is that you now have to give your marker a title.

If you haven't added your location and would like to, just go to http://www.guitarforbeginners.com/fo...ooglemapme.php and add your marker.

Please note: for obvious reasons it's best not to put your marker right where you live, putting a marker in the general area where you live is the best thing to do for security reasons.

Please also note that only members can see the map and add their markers.

Let me know if anyone has any problems with the new map. It does take a while to load (dial up will be slow) - and you need to jiggle your mouse around a bit sometimes for the pop up ballons to show, but all in all it works pretty well I think. Once again a big thank you go to StonyArc over at vbulletin.org for making this available.
