    Its ok as its my fault for rounding the coords on the USA map so I got out google and put in some super accurate ones now so hopefully it should be better. Its got you about right and RobA just on the coast underneath. Its never going to be absolute to the pixel but should be just about right enough to know where we all are in relation to each other.

    We have some handles on the map from people who aren't in the members list so presumably these are lurking guests - which is cool as we will know where they come from *when* then decloak.

    Well done Sagenlicht - you must be Munich (München) way then. People say its nice there. I have been there but just to the railway station tho ;(

    Thanks for fixing the location problem, Redrobes. Consider yourself repped for all of the help. It is appreciated. Besides, I was starting to get water logged sitting in Lake Ontario.
    Cheers,

    Not bad. The locals have a saying, "Qian Wu Gou Ren."*


    * Literally means "No ancients before us" (meaning: Go where no man has gone before!), if my Google Fu is correct.

    suggestion: When there are many people at a single point (as in new york) make a single label with the names of all who live there.

    If New York or any other place gets too many in comparison to rest of map then ill add another zoom zone for them.

    If all the members added themselves then we should expect areas with lots of dots. We cant expect to resolve every dot as an individual in every case.
