Title: Let's fill a map with the location of community members
Post by: xeroc on October 18, 2014, 11:13:59 am
Hey friends,

i just found a nice page which we could use to collect the (approx) locations of community members.
The features are:

 * Sign-Up Not Required
 * Custom Fields
 * Map Images
 * Multimedia
 * Customizable Icons
 * Color Regions
 * Marker Groups
 * Entry List
 * Moderated Additions
 * Private Mapping
 * GeoSearch
 * Edit Grids

I have not yet extensively tested the platform but I think we can start from there and export all added locations if required.

view only: http://www.zeemaps.com/view?group=1162907&x=-80.400616&y=37.224179&z=6
add you location: https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1162907

Note: Please only add your home town and maybe not put the market at your own house :)

I'm being silly.  The suggestion being that everyone stating where they are on a map makes things easier for government.  It was meant in jest though as no one is doing things that are illegal.  Just things that government might not like.. but I've derailed this thread. ;)

That's why people should not pin point their house but their city ..

but I agree ..
at least over here, things that are not forbidden cannot be illegal .. IMHO .. as long as BTC is legal .. so should be BTSX ..

The whole market volume is so tiny that currently no government should care about it.

Organized crime is who you have to worry about. Government already knows where everyone is.

I love Colorado! I used to live in Colorado Springs! :) Beautiful state and one of the states in the nation with more sense in terms of the green herb. I don't smoke anything I just think it makes more sense to legalize it and tax it.

I may not be available over skype today ... gonna be out for the evening ..

but I think a 'frame-redirect' will do for now ..

maybe we can find some talented coder (pfff -- no need to search for long) .. who can integrate this maybe with BTS login/verification and or forum verification ..
putting a marker and storing coordinates with a name shouldn't be too difficult considering the amount of source code available with openstreetmap already
but let's put that to the end of the to-do-list :)

is there a way to get open street map into a custom CI layouted map style !? Or an alternative?
Zeemap is great but we don't have any chance to get a custom look etc and deleting ads at bottom.
It seems not kind professonial for some users i begin to think… FB appreciated
Title: Re: Let's fill a map with the location of community members
Post by: xeroc on February 25, 2015, 11:35:22 am
you can dump the coordinates as json format and it should be possible to use open streetmap with a costum made page .. however adding new members will then require manual work or more coding ... id love to see this linked with public data field of bitshares accounts
