Seems that done with google maps, looks easy enough to set-up, might be a good addition to this thread :clap:

Heres a quick go at it -

OK so I have added a few more to the map.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie...4.342149,0.307617&spn=12.163851,40.605469&z=5

I tried to go for the whole, male blue, female red thing, to make it easier for people, but it seems everyone who I've put on is male...

There are about ten on there, just to see how it looks...

I don't know how many maps we now have in operation but any more than one just seems completely futile to me. There are several members already entered on this one....

http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=69841

It would be helpful if a mod could make some sort of autocratic decision as to which map we will use, and update the first post or create a new first post, before the existing one, to make clear which map we are using.

I'm aware of at least one other map that has been set up, apart from the zeemaps version. I'm not sure if that is your map or if yours is now a third incarnation. I saw a link to it quite a while ago and I don't know where it is now, so I'm not sure whether yours is the same one or a new one. I'm not trying to dis your map in any way. I really don't care which map we use, just so long as there is only one version to check against and maintain.

I was only going from a couple of posts back where someone said they had started making one. If somone could decide before I put any more effort in to this it would be helpful! :thumbs:
 
Also, Jamiefsmith, do you have the block of text to describe yourself so I can put it on the map?
 
It'ssomewhere in this thread i'll have a search....
 
This was discussed a few pages back and I decided to set up a map as nobody else had appeared to do so, Gebadire has been filling this in. If there were previous maps created then nobody appeared to know about them, maybe if a mod could update the first post picking one of the maps (maybe the one with the most users entered into it currently would be the simplest approach) then we could all use the same one map :)

check out post 209 on this page. A map was created back in Feb....

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=46944&page=7

Another map was created back in Jan. See post 84...

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=514607#post514607

So I think that does bring us up to three maps so far. I have no idea which one we are supposed to be using.

Oh, and now I've found this - the official map, no less - based on post 13 on this page....

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=50029

I did try using the official map and found it cumbersome and unfriendly. The Google and Zeemaps versions seem far easier to navigate, but we still only need one map.

So that makes it four maps. Any more out there?
