What do we do when we have 'moved house' Ian? Can we update it?
thanks

You can drag yourself anywhere, I think :-)

Yes, you can just drag your pin to your new area, I have noticed if you login from on holiday you move as well! mind it appears to be a bit off unless I took my last one in Atlantis!!!

Hi everyone....

The old Members map was not working as it should and after a lot of midnight hours I have found out why, so I have removed it.
It worked by tracking your ip, so as you moved about the world so did your location. However if your ip supplier chose to hide its location as some now do, then you never appeared.. not a lot of use!!!

But never fear....

Member map part 2 is now live and I think will work better for all the Paid Members.
Click the Tab "Members Map"

You will then see a message on the left side saying you have not set your location yet.
Click on your pointer, (it appears around Spain I think) and drag it to where you are, you can zoom in to get it accurate, then click the save button again in the top left of the map.

If you need to move yourself again just click "update your location" again top left of the map.

You will also see a search on the right hand side. if you type the name of the member or part of the name in that box it will find that person, or all the people that contain what you have typed for you and zoom in to them when selected. When you have finished just click "Clear Results"

Clearly you can only search for someone if they have positioned themselves and clicked saved.

It will take as long as it takes you guys to following these instructions to become more useful, and whilst its a manual operation, its better than not appearing at all, or finding your going for a swim off Africa!

Enjoy and please do use it so we can get the local groups set up, and start having more meets etc.

Blue pin = Offline
Green pin = On line

Thanks
Ian

Done! Easy! Shame there wasn't a block import of all the old locations....Well done for sorting this tech problem Ian.

Thank you Ian, Just goes to show how important to the club someone like you is.

**Bernard** · 22-02-2017, 10:12

Thanks for sorting that Ian

Job well done Ian! This new map appears a little more detailed than the last one and was simple to move the location pointer - I managed it with an iPhone on a moving train!
