I'm not sure if there's interest in this, but I'll throw it out there and see if anything sticks. I'm curious to see how far the TTOL network reaches. Maybe I have TTOL'ers in my city, Austin, and I don't even know it! On the site, you can drill into each member profile and typically see a member's home city, etc. But it would be cool to see it on a map (very generally speaking - no specific home addresses, of course.). If you want to participate in this experiment, fill out this brief form. I'll load them into a BatchGeo map and post soon.

TTOL Member Map Form

Great idea..I posted both our residents..Sonoma, Ca and Tortola, BVI's...

Great responses so far. Here's an example of how it will look. You can click on the pin drop to see the TTOL member name and, if provided, email address. I'll post updates along the way.

Joined on, do not see myself on the map quite yet.

Awesome. I have to batch load any updates (not live from the form to the map) so I'll send an update tonight. I'm expected to do work-related stuff during the day.

Cool, thanks. Posted.

Being a geologist, I can really relate to maps.

I saw that too - was wondering who was near us LOL

Thanks for doing this. Great fun and very interesting. Can we get the moderators to put this as a 'sticky' somewhere please so we dont have to check back to this thread all the time?

Here is the updated map as of a couple of minutes ago. I'll still consider it a work in progress so keep the responses coming! We have around 85 pins on the map so far! Jeannius, I've relocated you across the pond from Worcester, MA to Worcester UK. And I just saw two more come in - will get to those later tonight.

Let me know if you see anything else off.

Or does only the FEDS have that data too! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

Done. Bet there's no one near me. HaHaHa

We're in!

I am in central Mass and it shows me in Rhode Island. I sail there but don't want to admit to being a resident.

New update! 134 pins on the map! Jdud133, you've been relocated back to MA (leading zero on the zip was dropped and messed it up). Let me know if anyone sees anything else that looks wrong. Keep them coming and I'll update as needed. Looking forward to loading up the backpack and staying at fellow TTOL'ers throughout Europe. Tip, you can search for a specific member by typing their ID in the search block in the upper-right.

Yes, we're are the first Scandinavians .

Actually in April, we met Swedes in Virgin Gorda for the first time in 10 years. They were on a boat.

Great idea. DONE! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Just tried to submit but the form balks at state and Zip - won't accept Toronto and Ontario

So if I start out in Buffalo looks like I can head up through Canada to Nova Scotia then down the East coast then turn up through La. and then out west and then up the PCH and head back dipping down into Co. and back to NY....TTOL cross country Road Trip!!!!!

For Canada just enter your city, province and postal code. I'll clean it up when it comes in. Sorry I was shot sighted on the form.

I wrote an X in state and entered my Swedish zip code (also 5 numbers) and it worked.

"Shot sighted", as in starting work with a painkiller?

Thanks the postal code is M4T 1A3 - did the xxx thing and it worked - also did it for Adagio Villa - cheers brian

Done too. Thank you for doing this.

Okay, new update! 167 entries on the map! As before, let me know if any of your locations aren't properly showing. It's getting pretty interesting. Let me know if any happy hours are scheduled!

did mine...actually did it twice since the map located me near Ft.Wayne IND and I thought that my registration did not go thru...and I live about 1 1/2 hours south of there...Fountain City...just north of I-70 but other than that this map idea is great..thanks!!

Happy Father's Day map update! 214 pins dropped on the map, so far. I've also gone back and made some of the reported mistakes. Keep the new posts and comments coming. Getting impressive.

As a reminder, here is the form to submit to get on the map. I update it in batches.

TTOL Map Form

Seems to be a problem with several pins duplicated in south america and the one in thailand showing up middle of pacific below equatot.

tpcook, thanks for the response. I'm not seeing the same, but I've noticed that if you look at it on a phone or tablet (iphone or ipad for me), the pins and map sometimes get off-sync if you quickly scroll around. May want to zoom out and then back again. Seems to be much more solid on a laptop/desktop. Let me know if others see anything strange like that though.

Great job! Thanks for creating it!

this is cool just did it. almost feels like family is close by shout out from Lutz, FL

agree to suggest to make this a sticky . . . otherwise it will get lost

Very cool! It's nice to see there are people near us who also enjoy the Islands. 29 more days!

Love the idea, we are in.

Very Cool.

This is absolutely great, don't get me wrong, but where are we going to be able to find the map in future? Really need mods to place it somewhere as a 'sticky' or else all your hard work will be wasted as no-one will be able to find it in a couple of months time. Help please moderators.....

Let me know if there is general interest in making this sticky. Or TackingAg, you could put a link in your signature..

By the way, I posted a note on the SXM People talk forum also, so you might expect to see more new entries shortly!

DONE -- Great idea!! thanks

For those of you that do not want to go all the way back to page one, here is a link to the map: http://batchgeo.com/map/d17d82ed427dfc626af7603123f03e31

Just checked the map - now I have three points but its jut the M4T and Mahoe Bay residneces that count - cheers Brian

One of our SXM members has volunteered to do a SXM specific map, so you guys won't have to worry about SXM members mucking up your map! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> Sorry for creating confusion.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Blush.gif" alt="" />

Here are a few updates related to the TTOL map.

- The map has been updated with 249 entries and can be fond online here - TTOL Member Map

- In truth, I have 279 people who have submitted entries. When I started this thought, I didn't know if we would get 50 responses. Turns out that the free version of BatchGeo only allows 250 entries on each map (upgraded Pro version is $99/month - no thanks). So let me think of another option to support the growing responses. Recommendations are welcome.

- The map and form was shared by a member with the Saint Martin forum. I've never been to SXM, but I'd love to! Anyway, some of the latest entries may be from that group. But someone in that section has volunteered to do their own map. So the latest group of people on this particular map may be from the SXM forum, but we're all of the same spirit and interests!

- Further, I'm super swamped with this work thing. So I'll get to updates asap and will figure out an alternative to accommodate the growing list in another free map service.

I'm excited there was so much interest in this and hope that it turns into new connections in the community!

250 entries, ok, not near enough. Will try to look around also.

And you are correct $99 per month is not realistic. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for everyone's patience on the map update. I was able to find another map service that supports 250+ uploaded points (we're now up to 286!).

You can find the new map at TTOL Member Map

I like this service since you should see a full list of everyone on the left side. You can then click on a member's profile name to see them on the map.

Here is the form you can submit if you're not on the list and want to be added - TTOL Member Map Survey

cool thanks!! #271 Whiskers wins the distance award holy cow!

New updates to the TTOL Member map! 310 points submitted to date. I also had to create a new map (URL / web address) of the map, so here is the new link. The list should show to you on the left side, but you may need to expand it first.

Thanks for doing the map. Interesting to see who is in the area.

This is very cool!
FYI - I've noticed that there are a lot of duplicates in your list on the left side of the display... some names even show up 3 times.

Thanks Twanger. I'll look through them to confirm but several members intentionally registered multiple times with different locations (primary home, vacation property, etc).

Thanks for doing this.

Updates applied to the map from the month of January. I also went through and cleaned out a few duplicates (some folks submitted another entry with an email addition, update, or whatever). So we should now have 422 legit pins on the map.

Wow, I just looked at the TTOL Map form, and we've received 36 new entries since my last post in April! Time for an update!

Now up to 470 pins on the map. New pin drops in China and Spain, too!

I may hit a problem if our map goes over 500 pins (forcing me to pay $$$ to keep it up). Let me know if anyone has a recommendation for a free web-hosted mapping software that allows me to upload spreadsheets (I was already pushed out of batchgeo.com when the map got bigger).

Welcome aboard Reese!

Time for an update to the TTOL Member Map! I've been taken away from the board and this map for some time, so I'm excited to get back to it. We now have 497 entries on the map! The latest update includes a pin drop on Switzerland, Scotland, and four more entries from my native country (Texas).

I'm not sure if this map is being grandfathered after Zeemaps restricted their free map service. I'll just keep uploading new contacts until we bust it.

It would appear that no one is updating the map. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sad.gif" alt="" />

This is a one man labor of love, not anything that anyone is helping him with, so give him some slack!

I didn't think I said anything about the person who created the map, only wanted to let the previous poster know that it hadn't been updated. Certainly didn't take any "attitude" that would require giving slack. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Tonguea.gif" alt="" /> So cut me some slack! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />
