Casper Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 In a new post or reply, click the button. Then within the MAP tags, type the address you want mapped like 65 South Front Street, Columbus, OH I figure this might be useful to some people. I'm working on making it more functional, but this is what I have so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 You're never happy are you ?Well I'm trying to find out how this can possibly be used.... take a look at all the maps folks are posting. If you didn't tell anyone the address or Gmaps link it's useless. Meet me there at 2 pm.orHey, I can't find 123 main st can anyone help me? Sure here it is I guess it would be useful if you wanted to point out a spot on a map just for illustrative purposes, but I struggle with how to use this. You can't get directions or really see down on the map as far as you might want for driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 How about this new setup? I have it using iFrame to load the full map within the post. I personally think this kicks freaking ass. I also changed the tag from googlemap to just map, but either will continue to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Dude, NOW we're talking!It's huge, but it's extremely useful! Thanks for listening!I'm using 100% width tags. I shrunk it down to 60% which made the size look better, but the map wasn't nearly as functional. It's a lot easier to use at this size.

Likwid Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm not going to lie, this one impresses me. Ditto here (although it slows down a ton on this thread I wouldn't anticipate this amount of maps on any other thread)Let's test THIS out.... ride map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Casper, in my opinion, the small tweaks like these are WAY more meaningful then upgrading the forum code when you don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snodgrass23 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Awesome new feature!! I've seen some map stuff on other forums, but this is better and will actually be more useful on this type of site. Great job!!(have i mentioned this site has the funniest collection of smilies I've seen, every time I look through the list for one it cracks me up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
