OOF Member distribution
22. Mar 2008 at 01:10  
I was wandering through another car forum earlier today and came accross a group of car owner members who have made use of a free feature on the net which allows us all to see where each other are. It has proven really popular and there are many members in the map I saw.

Obviously the more the uptake the richer the value, which is true of most web-based things really.

I've created a private area for the OOF members and you're all welcome to log on and add yourself. Please don't feel you need to give your EXACT location if you want to remain partially anonymous (mine is bang on), but it would be great to get a general idea of our distribution and proximity to nearby members.

To access the map click here

http://www.zeemaps.com/omegaowners

Please PM me for the password

If this catches on perhaps this could become sticky? (mods? I'd be happy to hand over the moderator password for you to change)

I used my address, but on any map on the net it is always out by 6 houses, must be to do with the post code covering quite a wide range.

I've fixed the duplicate Simon, thanks for letting me know.

If you find that you've got a mrker in the wrong place, I can move it rather than create duplicates.

It is much harder to remove markers than move them.

Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!

Toward the end of the process it brings up a dialog box with fields of which 1 is your postcode with the last 2 digits missing.

Add your last 2 digits before clicking "Submit" and it will home in on you.

Someone has added a marker in Chirk near Wrecsham called "file28", who ever this is, may I add your OOF alias as an identifier to that marker?
 Durh! I've just spotted the post above, so "file28" is a genuine OOF alias, sorry. Lips Sealed
