Title: Map of club members/agents
Post by: Red Kettle Rich on July 14, 2013, 01:52:22 PM: Is there a map of club members/agents associated with the WKC? Something like http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=490438&add=1 (http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=490438&add=1)

Post by: Ken Mc on November 06, 2013, 08:03:29 AM: Can we do something with this Marty??? This map seems a lot easier to work with. And if we can keep it here somewhere I think that would be very cool. Just a thought.

Post by: pbe gummi bear on November 06, 2013, 08:31:35 AM: I'll take a look at this. If its easier to use and more accessible I am all for it. I can also migrate the people from the other map over.

Post by: pbe gummi bear on November 08, 2013, 08:58:59 AM: I am inclined to say I like this map more. It's easy enough to use. But more importantly the flags are less prone to moving around and mucking it up.

I will move everyone from the old map to it in a bit (unless someone else wants to volunteer in exhange for kettle karma :) ). I will also point all the old links to this new maps. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Post by: Troy on November 08, 2013, 08:51:32 PM: i think i prefer the google maps.

the zeemaps uses googlemaps anyway, but the data is stored on zeemaps instead of google.

i trust google to stay around a long time.
i've never heard of zeemaps.

perhaps i can write an interface here for it. google maps API isn't hard.

Post by: pbe gummi bear on November 08, 2013, 09:16:28 PM: I agree, Troy but google sucks at UI. I can rant for hours on how terrible it is across all their products. :p Perhaps there is a way to backup the coordinates and user easily? Let's take this offline.

Post by: G$ on November 09, 2013, 05:15:18 PM: It's not just UI that google sucks at, that is just the symptom of the underlying issue with a great many of their "products". The problem is that the vast majority of their non revenue products are all "80% done". Sometimes that comes off as UI. Other times, "stuff just don't work right".

Post by: pbe gummi bear on November 09, 2013, 09:53:54 PM: Agreed, G$.

Post by: timleo on November 26, 2013, 11:34:57 AM: So what is the current thinking on this idea? Is there a final decision on which map is being used? Where do I find it?
