Title: Map of Openxcom fans pool
Post by: michal on July 25, 2012, 11:11:05 pm

Forum map:
https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=googlemap

Amunak's:
https://tools.amunak.net/openxcom-map/

First solution is integrated with forum so it has advantages (same nicks) and disadvantage (guests can't add their locations).

Second one looks better (full screen), pins look better.

What do you guys think? What should we do? I think we should decide to use one solution. If you prefer Amunak's map, we could add link to it on main site.

If anyone could add to the map, then the map would be a "fan map". If what we want is a community map, I would go for the forum's map, simply because this is the meeting point for the community.

I have added my own pin, and it was retained exactly as I have saved it.

Anyway, my money (and vote) is on the "Forum map"

I had only tangential contact with the Google Maps API, but maybe I can lend a hand in debugging this issue (if there is one anymore). Also, the "pins" can be easily changed to any image, like the *cough* *cough* official OXC logo...

I haven't managed to add pin in forum's map. It's kinda inappropriate...
