F:AT Member Map was created by wadenels
In the "New Groups Are Hard" thread,

I could have sworn that there was a Google Maps link where people could indicate their location but I can't find it. It's pretty easy to do though; the only hangup is how willing people are to share their actual address in a public forum. Alternatively, you can make a mark on the map with just basic information like your city.

Example (I think you have to sign into Google to edit):
Map Link

Anyone interested in participating in this? Or is there already a map link I just can't find?

EDIT: Steps to add a mark to the map:
1. Type in an address or city, in my example I typed in "Golden Valley MN"
2. Click the map marker that shows up and "Add to Map"
3. Click the new location in the left sidebar or the map and click the little pen to edit it.


See Gary & Uba's responses below.

We have one. It is linked in somebody's profile, maybe KenBs. I haven't looked at it in a while but I know there are something like 30-40 people on it at least. I think some lurkers also put their map spot on there.

I think one time Uba told us we have a *lot* of lurkers, which I find believable. It's a bit of an old boy's club at times and even though we've made efforts to change by spinning a lot more discussion into their own threads, it's difficult to take that out of here.

If you want to start a new one I'd have no problem for it---but definitely check to see Ken's (I think) sig file.

Click on PROFILE in the top main menu. The Member Map link is in everyone's profile menu.


Only members who are logged in can get to the Profile Menu, that's why the link is there and not more public.

Cool, who'd have thunk to look in the Profile section? Crazy talk. I added mine, but I couldn't see a way to edit it, so it's just my town. I'm anonymous! :D

The Profile Menu has links to areas of the site that are only available to members. The Member Map is there intentionally so that people have to make the effort to register and then click a few times to add themselves or to find other people. The map may not be secure, but the extra effort involved to find and use it makes it less likely to be vandalized or used inappropriately.

Thanks to the membermap I discovered that Michael Barnes, does not live too far from one of my brothers, and KenB lives in a town that I looked for houses in. Thats kinda crazy.

Now I know I need to tighten up the security around my house.
