Frank, in the good old days you would pack up the Conestoga and move West until you could no longer see the smoke from your neighbor's chimney.

I'm guessing BogBean has entered the wrong coordinates. His map dot says he lives in Sioux Falls, SD but it is located in Tupelo, MS. Either that or someone changed the location of the stated without telling me [

I don't know if we need a bigger country, but I was just playing with the zoom bars on the left of the map.
You can zoom in on an area of the map with the +- bars and then scroll left/ right /up /down /to get a more detailed look at members locations.

Jeff, that is way too cool.
Thanks for your hard work on it.

Well, I think the map is finished. It's members only now, and I added a link to a help topic.
If anyone has suggestions or discovers a bug, let me know. I was thinking about adding a link to the member photo album in the popup info window. That's pretty easy to get to with another click to the profile, so maybe not worth the trouble.
(Regarding filtering by state... I don't plan to do that. It's too easy to just zoom in to the area you want.)
Thanks for all the help debugging. It was fun to develop this. [8D]

Well I found kind of a bug. My address doesn't really exist in the lookup so using something close it puts "vick" on top of my pin so there is only one pin, granted we only live about three houses away, and being that our zip code is not there we aren't in the right spot anyway. The satelite image of my neighborhood is a few years old... my house is a parking lot [B)] in it. I guess the snoops can't find us though. []

One of you guys needs to move. You both have exactly the same coordinates entered. Since the last digit resolution is something like 15 feet, I think that at three houses away you should be able to distinguish the markers at a high zoom level. It is a shortcoming of the map, but there's room enough for everyone [Originally posted by dubdrvrkev

I just switched to my old zip from before I moved to my parking lot [] so we aren't over lapping when you zoom in.

Not to accurate, put in zip for Riverside, Ca and it puts me out by Indio, 70 miles away. Oh well, maybe I moved and the wife forgot to tell me, lol.

What's the "land of Lincoln"?

Actually to geocoder put me in the bay about 8-10 miles from where our house really is, but I still figure that's pretty close. Looking at the map is interesting where the concentrations of penturners are, and I doubt if anybody is going to really use this to locate me anyway.

The State of Illinois which was nicknamed such after President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was born in Kentucky and while still a young boy his family moved to Illinois were he grew up. His legal and political careers began here. Hence, "The Land of Lincoln".

Jeff,
This map is really neat. I wish I understood things like this.
Just a side note, Randy, are you a good swimmer? [][][]

Wow, the map is really filling up. It is still leaning way to the right though.

That worked sooo much better. I don't really like sharing my house with the cows in the field. With this prgram, my house in back in the city, where my mail gets delivered.
Great link. Thanks
