You know it might at some point become neecesary to provide a 'zoomable' map - especially if you get a bunch of folks in the same basic area.
Just a suggestion

Yeah, lets see where in reality all the clusters are and we can go from there. I expect a bigger US and UK map might cover it but lets see. The data can decide.
Ohh eck, that '12' must be 12 Rounds so my spaces in the handle obviously doesnt work then.

I think you can make a layer or something in google earth we could all plug in for that perhaps?Originally Posted by Steel General

Here's another forum with the same idea. it shows another approach - using a crosshair than a block as the marker...still turns into a mass of red though
Concept art is a good site isnt it. Looks like they had the same idea but they dont have tool tips for the user tho
Fixed the spaces issue and edited 12 Rounds in properly. Right, should work now.... he says.
Just an other suggestion : do you think it is possible to put a white line around the red dots so that colorblind people don't have to struggle too much to see them ? (speaking for myself, here...)
Back to business
Good call, and done.
I'm on the map after my second attempt. I forgot to add the - to the longitude as well (in my first attempt). My dot is hiding behind RobA's dot.

Shouldn't your dot be a bit further north and on Lake Ontario? Or are you not really in Toronto?I'm on the map after my second attempt. I forgot to add the - to the longitude as well (in my first attempt). My dot is hiding behind RobA's dot.

That's interesting. Toronto should be on the North-Western tip of Lake Ontario. Toronto's coordinates are Latitude: 43° 40' North, Longitude: 79° 22' West. I rounded down on my 2nd attempt and it put me near Niagara Falls. I tried a third attempt with 43.4 and -79.22 and it still missed the Greater Toronto Area (GTA as the locals call it).
Sigh, I grabbed the coordinates from Google Maps (43.76911,-79.387207) and it put me in Lake Ontario (4th attempt). I give up. Feel free to erase my previous attempts. Sorry about the extra work, Redrobes. Meanwhile if anyone needs me, I'll be snorkeling in Lake Ontario.
Cheers,
