Forum user map

Unread post by Willoughby »

Just added a nice MOD which picks out the location data on all the users' profiles and plots them on a Google map. It works really well, if it doesn't understand a location it wont plot it. There's quite a big number that assumes US and UK cities... :-k

The link is next to the FAQ above, takes a few seconds to load as it grabs it off the database. :)

Looks like G Maps would refuse the term 'Howick, East Auckland' but accept 'Howick, Auckland'... it's touchy. ;)
