It's easy enough to
create and share a Google Map: Just log in to Google, "pin" a location, give it a title, save it, and then set it to "public" and "share" so others can can see and edit it too.
Thing is, it's one thing to openly publish the addresses of dealerships, service centers or other such businesses online. Presumably they'd all welcome the resulting referrals. But I am not sure I'd want
my personal contact and other info so freely available to all comers. On the other hand, I might freely provide them if access to such a members map and directory were restricted to logged in members of this forum in good standing. One imagines that the
"MEMBER MAP" feature of this forum found in the header of each webpage generated by the
SMF Tricks software might afford some method of restricting access to it just to logged in users. That's something for the Forum's mods and admins to work out, but I imagine they've already got their hands pretty full beating off the
Viagrunt All Natural Male Enhancement Ointment and Clutch Plate Lube peddlers and other lowlife spammers hammering at the gates, all while attending to the myriad other more pressing teething problems of this new Forum architecture.
