Can we have a map, please?

I wonder if it would be possible to have a map so that members can stick a "pin" in where they live? Maybe in connection to carrot week we could pin when we sow/seeds germinate/carrots get pulled. OK, that would be too complicated probably Very Happy

but sites often have a world map which shows where people live. Conquer the world!

I love this idea - is it possible, PTB? (Powers That Be)

I have looked for one of these a few times, and I just haven't found one that works with what we have here.

If I find one that works ever I will add it to a test area and see if it slows down our load time, which is another major concern. If it passes both tests we can keep it...but so far I have yet to find one that does.

I have seen others use google maps as something you click (so you leave the forum) so no issue with load time

I love the idea of a Google map for us! That would be so cool!

In some cases, your google map can be infused into the site's overall design by sitting in a margin somewhere. Just sayin'....

(But, you've probably looked into that already, too.) Wink
