python_man Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 this is mainly pointed at the mods and admin.i was thinking that it maybe a good idea if we have an add on to the site. a sort of map page where you can click on your area and it shows the riders in that general area. this may help when organising rides. we could also have on this map "hotspots" if you like of good riding areas.i know this would be a pain to implement but if anyone has some good ideas it might work wellnick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

python_man Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you go onto the Wiki and look for your town, there should be a map inside, off hand, I remeber there being one for Leicster, Loughborough and Birmingham. I am sure there are more, just have a gander.Also, you could add your own to the Wiki. Maybe try and sort it out and put it up there yourself?cant find any on wiki will have another look, i meant somethink like the search (when your searching for topics) above a map, when you search your town or your county then zooms into that area with say flags of where certain members are from and different flags for riding areas. real areas not just a wall in town ectnick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

python_man Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Don't understand what u mean well say when you click on something in google map it sort of zooms in, it would need a platform to zoom in with, it cant jsut do it automatically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 just looked at the brum map,pretty good i do think though there should be a seperate page for this though,and maybe when you zoom in on a area theres a slideshow that comes up with pictures of the site from the ground.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Punk Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm not sure if I suggested this before. Or its just been floating in my head for a long time. Its an awsome idea just needs doing. I wish I had the great knowledge to unertake such a feat but I lack it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
