I found it! Add yourself to the map! LOL, Maybe putting white text on a light grey background wasn's such a good idea on their part....errr, nevermind, it just turned red. Damn slow sites.

 

I like the interface though. I am actually currently building something using the Google Maps API as well. Neat stuff.

 

Good idea FF, now if I could ever get it to load ...


I doubt most people will wait this long for it to load, there's got to be a better one out there somewhere [&:][sm=smiley25.gif]

 

yeah i know it's slow...believe me i looked around...not many good ones out there that are quick...primary reason is exactly what rrasco said...it's using an API to use google maps....none of these things use their own mapping software (and rightfully so)...but as a result...any number of things can cause the whole thing to slow down...

i did notice that google maps was a little slow today as well so it might be something on their end...dunno...hopefully it will speed up a bit tomorrow...but who knows...

 

Texas...D/FW area.

 

actually...is it just me, but are all google services running slow today...even my gmail is acting all funny today...???

 

IDK, I did spend a few hours on the dashboard using the webmaster tools, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Google Maps seems to be working fine too. Who knows, could be one out of a million things ATM.

 

The Frappr one is not that great but it does load reasonably fast (still a bit slow though) but it doesn't load the map part for me ("image unavailable"). I have no idea where it's posted on this forum (is it a sticky somewhere?) but I searched frappr and found the link ... looks like 2353 members have used it but I can't tell if it's still being used??

well the buddymapping is moving a lot faster right now....

my only concern with using an old map is that because it's old....it won't do us much good...it's good to have an active member one....

hmmm...that's gets me to thinking....

i bet if i would work on it, i could do an api to just map members from our database here....then dependent on there last post, show them or not...hmmmm...hmmmm...

any mods be willing to work with me on seomthing like that maybe? RRASCO!!!!

 

Umm, I don't mind, but I also have no access to any back end to this site, just a plain ol' mod here. I just actually started looking into the google maps API to see what is possible; so I don't know exactly how it works, well I do, just not what can all be done yet. I don't think anyone on this site actually has access, Patrick has a few people I don't know of that do the code changes. So this may be pushing trying to obtain MySQL access.
