location detail ?

[zippeurfou]

I was thinking this morning that there used to be a french league where you had a map of France and you could see in which city is everyone in France.
I think it could be cool to be able to have a world map and to know in what city we all live. It could help to arrange meeting and stuff like that.
**Imagine you want to do a clan meeting could be cool to quickly know where exactly the most member live**
Or some other stats as the city where the most people play worms or the best skilled city overall...
I might be stat addict but I think that adding an user information non mandatory in the profile is not a very big deal and then you can display it on a map easily.

this would also be very educational. sometimes I see a weird country name like usa (does any1 actually live there?), and with such feature I could probably find it in a world map.

Do you know any map/flash-based thingy where we could specify/mark our members on?

Or you can use google map and use the api https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ . It's not really hard to use it.
Here is an example.

Code: [Select]


// cinema Pathé Bellecour
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(45.758796,4.834607);
 
// Map of the cinema
var myMapOptions = {
zoom: 16,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
 
// Map creation
var myMap = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map'),
myMapOptions
);
 
// icon creation
var myMarkerImage = new google.maps.MarkerImage('img/pathe.png');
 
// marker creation (this is a basic one but for tus it could be custom).
var myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
// cinema place
position: myLatlng,
map: myMap,
// custom icon
icon: myMarkerImage,
title: "Cinema Pathé Bellecour"
});
 
// window option
var myWindowOptions = {
content:
'<h6>Cinema Pathé Bellecour</h6>'+
'<p><a href="http://www.cinemasgaumontpathe.com/cinemas/cinema-pathe-lyon-bellecour/" title="Site officiel">Visiter le site officiel</a></p>'
};
 
// window creation
var myInfoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(myWindowOptions);
 
// show window when you click the marker
google.maps.event.addListener(myMarker, 'click', function() {
myInfoWindow.open(myMap,myMarker);
});


Well this example is not to teach you anything (i am sure you are quite capable of programming ^^). It is to show you how simple it is to use the google map api .
Then you can use it as a heat map (http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.fr/2009/03/using-google-maps-to-produce-heat-maps.html) or geomap (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geomap)  or else

Yeah i reckon it's easier if MI codes it, so the location in the profile gets shown on the map.
