I've put together a new module for the website that lets members enter their locations so we can all see where people are from. It uses Google Maps as the engine and is pretty straight forward to use. If you've used Google Earth, this uses the same data, it just doesn't have the stereoscopic effect. You can zoom in and out and drag the map around to get to your location then simply clicking on the map will let you enter your position.

If you get your position wrong, just do it again and it will overwrite your last location. Some other features:

- Clicking on a marker lets you see the member's profile information.
- Allows you to update your profile with your GPS coords and a link to Google Maps showing where you are at. Simply click "Update Profile Location" once you've placed your location on the map. This will show up beneath your avatar in every forum post.
- You can zoom directly to your position by clciking the "Zoom to Your Location" button.
- You can navigate around the map using your keyboards arrow keys and +/- for zooming in and out.
- If you already have your GPS coords you can enter them in degrees minutes and seconds or decimal degrees notation by pressing the "Manually Enter/Update Your Location" button.

Looking forward to see where we are all from Smile. Access it via the "Members Map" link on the left menu under community.

This is a super new feature for ATV Frontier and like Weasel said, Ronin invested a huge amount of time doing all the customization work. The guys on the Dragonfly NukeCPG forums were blown away by Ronins work on this module and they now know what we've known for some time now...that RONIN ROCKS!

Glad you guys like it Happy. It's kinda neat to visually see people close by and click on their markers to see who they are. I'll be adding more features over the next while so stay tuned. Also, any questions, comments or suggestions are welcome.
