Not sure if it is the right thing for CC, but maybe someone else has some experience with it? This is what I think the members map was using as a foundation. I'm looking deeper into it to see if that's the case and we can get the map back.
kryptronic Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I did some research on this. The original post linked to a ZeeMaps map where members have been adding their location for a few years. Inexplicably following the the footsteps of PhotoBucket, ZeeMaps decided in 2018 to start charging to display any map that had been viewed more than 100 times in it's lifetime. ZeeMaps usedGoogle Maps as a foundation for it's service, but unfortunately maps created through ZeeMaps are only accessible through their site/API, and that's been cut off. So we lost access to all the existing map data. In an effort not to be beaten, we did it better. There's now a new Google Map with which we've loaded all the public member location information for any members who have a valid location entered, have over 10 posts, and have their profile public (location is presented in their profile). Here is the new link: Comanche Club Members Map (Google Maps) This is a publicly accessible map that anyone can modify. If you see your location on the map, and don't want it there, remove your marker. Going forward, if you would like to be added to the map, add a marker for yourself. If your marker is in the wrong spot, or too close to another marker - move it. Basically the same game as before - now we're using Google Maps instead of ZeeMaps. As of today, the map has 1,819 entries.
Pete M Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 he who can make the ones and zeros dance to his whim can mold the world to his liking.
schardein Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 WELL DONE! I liked to look at the old map from time to time. Glad to see we beat the system again.
87MJTIM Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I updated my profile and my location on the map. Thx.
DirtyComanche Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I moved mine because my profile is vague. I also slightly moved all the members that were stacked on top of each other because they just had their profile as BC, so I could select myself. That's just to explain what happened if there's a change log somewhere that's visible.
Motorhead X Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Stick it to the man! Great work. I'm up on the map.

jdog Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Thank you doing this. I spread out the ones in Denver and of course mine was the very bottom one, moved it to a little more accurate spot.
Smokeyyank Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Awesome! Thanks for doing that. Updated mine for moving up the hill next month. Sitting all by my lonesome self
jpdriver1 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 nice upgrade --- surprised there are only 4 of us in Orange County, Ca
Pete M Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 members will only show up there if they listed both their town and state. Just the town would confuse the program and just the state would likely drop it in the middle of the state. I don't appear anywhere because it doesn't know what to do with "detroit or atlanta"
JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Excellent, after the fallout I'll have a map for spare parts....don't worry, I've been saving my bottle caps ;¶

siojo Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 cool it is :) I added, but I do not know if someone will see me.
eaglescout526 Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 I had no idea this existed but this is nonetheless awesome!! Also nice to know there is a few vault dwellers around.
Roblesland Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Put the marker on the Comanche, looks like there is another MJ in Oxnard. I'm digging the map.
