ATVF now has a Members Map module using Google Maps technology to let members post their locations. Features Include:
- 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.
- Clicking on a marker lets you see a member's profile information.
- Allows you to update your profile's location field 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 clicking 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. Access it via the "Members Map" link on the left menu under community.
