View Full Version : New Map for members
Hi everyone, thanks to Giancarlo we now have an interactive map that people can add themselves to. Have a look here http://www.bushcraftuk.co.uk/map/
It will give us a better idea of where we all are in the country for when we're getting together etc. It's a purely optional thing and you have to put yourself into it which is quite straight forward. I'll put up a sticky with the details.
Feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wow, that's cool!
Suggestion: Markings for campsites that are "bushcraft friendly", as it were.

would seem we do....
Was silly to think only UK people would join, bushcraftUK ;)
also, i think the "within a 50 mile radius" function would be pretty useless then!
If you lot fill this UK one up, then i'll think about "phase 2"..
Cheers

Tried, but after entering name and place name, I couldn't enter co-ordinates. Any ideas?
A link to the map has been added to the Quick Links menu on the navigation bar above.

Adi: can I add myself even if I live in Denmark??
Do I just have to mark roughly on the map where i live?? :wave:
I'm afraid that Denmark isn't on the map ... sorry!

Pop yourself closest to where you live ... we now need an international members map!

could someone tell me how to delete myself off the map? not that i don't want you all to pop round for a cuppa of course, i'd love you to! it's just that i've moved and i'm fairly sure that if you did all pop round for a cuppa at my old place my old flatmate wouldn't be too amused!
note to self: add new location to BCUK map and buy some tea bags.

Any movement on an European and / or international map? I feel left out :cry: This is a great idea and nice to check out where people live.

in line with european cartography can we eliminate Wales from the map? :o):
What if you live in more than one place, what if one or more places are not in the UK?
you are very lucky! :wink:

and because of your good fortune, you should be made to suffer in other ways... I think it's called karma. :wink:

Where's this place 'Karma'? It's not on the BCUK map! and I can't find it on Multimap :o):
Yes, a world map would be cool!
The membership is indeed starting to get a bit widespread....We'll add it to the list :wink:
Yes, I'm putting in my vote for a world map. One that places South America in the center of the world like it should be. If it wasn't for World Cup football we'd be forgotten altogether. Mac

You volunteering to code it? :wink:
:rolmao:
I thought the idea of it was to see the areas where lots of people are and arrange meet-ups. It does that very well at the moment. :super:

I vote for a world map. Would be nice to see who is living around me here up north. :Crazy_071 (sorry I had to try this little faces :wink: )

Maybe it should be a big map of the UK then a small one of the world and a small one of Europe, or maybe a small one of North America, that way all our European and American members can give us an idea of where they are.

Without knowing my guess would be that Kath, Tone and Adi are too busy right now, finishing the new site... :?:
But I agree though, a world map where one could search for the members, by name or starting letter. :o):

We could go one better and have veryone list their favorite grind, sleep method etc and we could have a world map showing the distribution of various preferences and maybe see some trends developing.
I'm trying to think of more and more work for Giancarlo here :rolmao:

I was going to say Squids... cheers!
it's on the cards... just not yet.. not the easiest thing in the world do do..
When I do, it will be like Arctic Hobo thinks, the small UK existing map will stay as is, but a world map will be on a screen "before" it.. i'm not going to re-plot all the UK members on a new map.. and i'm sure people don't want to re-add themselves again.
I'll move the existing non-UK members over to the new world one... although they may need to reposition themselves.
Needless to say, It's on the cards and i am thinking about doing it soon... just a bit harder to edit / redo than people think..
sorry guys :)
Code the map? No I don't have no skills... Besides when I was done nobody would agree with my view of the world.
I do appreciate the work such things take. If you want to look me up on a world map I'm in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Its the third largest city in Brazil and nobody has ever heard of it. Mac
I've heard of it now.
Cheers

I have a very nice world map if anyone's interested... it's big but very well laid out and clear.
If anyone wants it I can upload a zip file of it to my site... at present it's an uncompressed tiff file but I could gif or jpg it for anyone I guess.

cheers squids,
Drop me a pm with the link in, i'd like to have a look
I have actually made a world map version, but there was a bit of an issue with how to do the sizes... it may need a "european" version too etc.
i might post a link to it soon to let peeps have a look / play.... there's a link to the world map image it uses somewhere on here... might be earlier in this thread actually..
cheers

good map though innit!
I was thinking it could be resized or hacked up by continent or something.

yes i like the sound of that, just need a genius to do it,
but it does sound good:cool:
Can anyone suggest why I am unable to see this interactive map? When clicking on other links there is intermittent success too.
It's down at the moment while it's moved between servers :D

Hey, I've heard of Belo Horizonte!
About three generations back, some Belgians moved there. Some members of the branch of the Belgian family left in Europe crossed the border into France, where one of them married my father-in-law's cousin...

Re. coding the map, I have a solution for ya there Tony. have already coded a entire interactive world map if needed. Check your PM for details.
