Where Are We From -- Google Map
« on: January 05, 2017, 09:55:17 PM »
I decided to burn a little time and I created this Google Map that shows visually where a lot of the forum members are located.  It's clear that there is a certain part of the country that just doesn't appear to like BBQ.  :)

If you want your location added, let me know.  If you want your location removed let me know that, too.  However, if that's the case you may wish to also edit your profile and taglines as that is public to the world.

That's very cool, Larry!  And, you have too much time on your hands.... ;) ... ;D   If you chart the full 2,621 members, you might fill in some of the blanks!

Thanks!  Right now this is the Admins, Hero Members, and Full Members who opted to make the information available.  It looked like there were quite a few folks who registered and then disappeared.  I wouldn't mind mapping more, but I'm going to want to automate it.  I'd have to talk to the technical administrator for the forums so that we could export the data from the forum database and then I could clean it up and import it.  It's actually pretty easy to do.

Pretty neat stuff there Larry. I wouldn't mind being thrown on the map. Also, I noticed no point on the map where all this started. Can you mark Steve's place with a star??

Thank you!  There's actually a story on this one...  for some reason when I put Florida Keys, FL in the search on Google Maps it drops a pin just south of where the Oklahoma pan-handle begins so I deliberately skipped it!  The zip code allowed me to properly place it.

Everyone - all requested updates made to this point.  For those of you that just listed a state (or a region of a state such as East Texas), the pin gets placed in one central location in the state.  Updating the map is super easy, so please keep them coming.

In addition to my main location in the Hudson Valley, which you have marked, I also have a #1 at my cabin in Durango (81301).
