Folks,
I've started to put together something which will allow you to publish your location on a map for others to see. It's early days yet but looks like I can put a lot of funky things to it.
If you have a look in your control panel in the Profile section, there is a new field there call Map Location. Fill in there where you are. I made it a separate field because it has to be something Google understands to translate into a map coordinates. I know a lot of you put "comical" locations in for your profile location so thought it best to have a separate field.
As it is early yet and very much work in progress, here is what it does:
It may be slow to load for now. This really was a let's-see-what-I-can-do-while-kettle-boils thing. Now that I have the ground work done, I will add to it.
Once you have updated your location, click here: [strike:3tio9rj7]http://qa.landcruiserclub.net/cp.php[/strike:3tio9rj7] http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forum/view_user_location.php
Some things I have in mind for it:
So, please fill in, have a play and comments and suggestions please.

- It places a marker at your location.[/*:m:3tio9rj7]
- The marker holds no info on you yet. I will add to it so that when clicked, your profile details will show up.[/*:m:3tio9rj7]
- The map will not centre on you. Currently, I am the centre of everything ( ) and it focuses on me me me me. Sorry, shrink says I need to get over it...[/*:m:3tio9rj7]

Some things I have in mind for it:
- More detail to come up with the markers.[/*:m:3tio9rj7]
- Live updates (how cool is that? ) for people with Google Latitude on their phones[/*:m:3tio9rj7]
- I'll think of more[/*:m:3tio9rj7]
- ...anything you throw at me...[/*:m:3tio9rj7]
