This mod was created to display the location of members on a Google Map.

It will only work if:
1. The Member has City, State (2 letter abbreviation), and Country filled in their profile. 2. Country MUST be USA. It will not work with any other country! 3. The City and State combination must exist in the GEOCODE database. Not every City is in the database!
Demo: http://www.rswarrior.com/forums/MemberMap.asp

It has been tested with with Snitz 3.4.05 & SQL Server 2000

I'll try to get this up and running in the near future and let you know if I find anything weird with Access. I'm very excited about it. Well done!<

Nicely done and I thank you! I didn't realize Google had an API out there for the maps or I would have been messing with this a long time ago!
I've got mine up and running here: http://www.snowmobilefanatics.com/members/membermap.asp

Now I need to impliment a "locate member" feature so by clicking on a link in a profile or forum post it will bring up the map with themself already highlighted in the little box dealy..at a decent zoom level.<

You seem to be missing the
Code:
<div id="map" style="width:728px; height: 500px"></div>
on your page.
This mod is just a basic implementation of what can be done. My site has a bit more done with this including what you are asking about. for example, http://www.rswarrior.com/forums/MemberMap.asp?MID=2 will show where member #2 is located.
Have fun with it ;)

I know. I wish there were free Geocode services for Europe and the rest of the world.<

I don't think so... even they don't have what I am looking for. This page has a link to find the lat and long of US addresses, not European addresses.
I am looking for something like this http://geocoder.us/

Thanks for trying though!<

Ah, OK, I get you know, your code is looking up the address, I thought you had your members manually entering their coordinates in their profiles.

Correct. For US Citites and States it is an automatic lookup.
I thought you had your members manually entering their coordinates in their profiles.

I am thinking of adding that in for non-US countries so they can use it too. I probably have a hundred or so members outside of the US and they want it. ;)
