Hm. More sparsely populated.
Aight, here's a thought, although it won't get taken care of until after this month is over:
Why not make our own map, instead of using Google? That thing takes FOREVER to load. All that would be needed to to draw a map of the world (and any countries that are heavyily populated. I can do that.
Then all that's required is for people to list what city/countries they are in. We can run and idex of people, and just have it be a picture featured on CM.com. A similar idea was done at another Castlevania forum, and it worked quite nicely.
I'm not sure this works so well...I mean, people are covering eachother up. oo
yep... seing how the situation is in the us, we'd need a very large map, and with this one we can get a very good precision, many of the markers are exactly on the people's houses
besides, there's the nifty option to export to google earth :mowcookie
Yeah, it doesn't seem that great to me, what with all the endless clipping and as far as I could see, the inability to zoom in (I checked in both Firefox and K-Meleon, I couldn't see any zoom functions). I've seen much better map software out there on the internet, even stuff that's really free. So if someone wanted to host it, setting up our own map with one of the better pieces of map software might be a better idea.
Still though, it's better than some I've seen and it's actually fun ... but I couldn't find myself on there after I added myself, I think I was sandwiched beneath two others. *Cough.*
I was overridden on the first one... but the zoom worked fine. I found my precise spot on my street...

Yes, because it wasn't posted on the DMFA front page. :o
Hey, I can see myself on the map! :) What happened to Guada, whoever she was?
Ha! There's two people in our town with us.
Well, you swouldn't get the precision of being avle to see your exact street with a large JPG, but on the flip, it would load in seconds, not minutes.
A clear index of people and regional maps would do the trick for half the price ;). :deal
BAH. I found my bloody house, and can't place a marker. >>
[edit:] HOLY CRAP. I had no idea the cemetery at the end of my street was that big.
Hmm... odd,

I'm not so sure this one has been either, my the marker I made on this one isn't found, unless of course you deleted a few.
How do you make a marker? :cry
By clicking on where you want to place a marker and typing in the stuff.
...Bleh, I'll put mine down again.
EDIT: Holy, this map is old, it still calls my school "New Haven Middle" when it changed maybe... 6-8 years ago?
Yay, im on the map, just north of london!
Uhh oh... everyone knows where i am now
o.o
I think my browsers must simply not like that map site, I still can't spot the zoom sutffs.

I click and nothing happens. :cry That makes me a sad panda.
Yeah, the Javascript is a bit funky. This is why I wish sites would do things like this in Flash, which is a bit more of a Universal standard. A lot of people code Javascript elements which don't work well Universally across browsers.
I had to reload it a few times to get it to allow me to place an icon, it looked like the code wasn't fully loading. I still can't find the zoom buttons either. *Cough.*
Hmm, I see that there is a Kat somewhat close to where I live in New Jersey. Ah, and there's Lizardbeth in Philly. :) But this work computer doesn't like the map enough to let me put my spot in the Pine Barrens on there. :mowtongue
And who put the Jersey Devil in North Jersey?! He lives where I live! In the Pine Barrens! His name is Bob. :mowdan
Try clearing the cache and doing a fresh reload of the page multiple times, that allowed me to sort of-ish place my marker anyway, I just had to make a stab at it on the unzoomed map though so for all I know, I might've ended up in Manchester.
For some reason, my neighbors driveway is marked on the map as a street. :erk
Im having trouble placing a marker. Whenever I click the Map starts moving.
And adding on another for the South Jersey ;p
:mowmeep
Well I can't seem to place a marker, but I'm right about the center of Selnyam, Tharam and Blitz. Probably live less than 1 hr away from each of them. Freaky.
You in New York better watch out as I'm heading up there in a little while. I may be required to give a certain book to ya. :januscat

You can already see my marker there in North Dakota...near the northern border of the United States

if we were to simplyfy things, I'd rather play around Google Earth and stuff, they search for the location on GE and then just input the coordinates to create a kml file that can be imported to GE
Infrequent poster that I both am and was I felt like pointing out myself here. And I'm one of the probably few who can say that they know in-person the one closest to them on the map.
Wow. :blink Buncha people live on the East Coast, where I am. :mowmeep
'Course according to the second map, I'm the only one living in WV. Durn hillbillies. :mowninja
Hmmmmm.... Still the only dmfa fan in Italy :mowsad

I also know in-person the closest to me. :D
Well, if she could get on the map >>
Eastern Mass FTW! I had no idea we had this many people around here <<
I can say the same as Kaos...
that has ntohing to do with the fact that he was talking about me, hush.
And thanks for adding my marker dude!
No problem.
As it seems, a few peopel are having trouble markign themselelves on the map. I'll offer to put them up for you, but you have to be willing to give me personal information about where you live *le gasp* Just toss me a PM or IM me or something, I'll get ya on there.
Don't worry, I'm not a stalker. Much.
