Need a few volunteers

[Raev]

Working on a new DGN member map, similar to the one that is stickied. This one is looking like it will be much much better in every way. Easier to use, less lag time, ability to post points of interest etc.

I've put it through tests and am so far happy with it. Now I'm asking for a handful of people to help me test this beta DGN map, by posting themselves to it and hitting me with some feedback. I want to make sure it's good to go before I make it public.

Firm believer in testing

PM me or reply here if willing.

I just put my zip in Rev, and it in NO way showed my exact local LOL.. NOT EVEN CLOSE. muuhhahhhh!!!

[Raev]

Yeah, I just pegged closest cross streets. Not my actual locale.

I should have put this here, not in PM - My first issue is having to sign up for yet another web site thingy. Can we do this through Google Map's API directly through DGN somehow?

[TitsMcGee]

I shall be a willing guinea pig lol

Replied to PM with in depth answer that I'll copy/paste most of onto here.

I spent some time toying with some google maps stuff but wasn't able to find a way to do it through them. I found one script that had potential but it was so buggy and needed so much tweaking that I didn't think it worth the time. I really just don't want to spend an extra 30-40 hours to work out all the script bugs haha. Hence falling back to possibly this one, to replace the antiquated map from ages past.

One thing I could do since I'm the admin for the map and mod here, is when this goes public if it does - is tell people "If you don't want to register, just PM me your cross streets and I'll peg you".

Thank you for bringing that up, so I can be prepared and/or adjust

Sent. I'll probably make it public today. A few things were run into, addressed and fixed.

map is now launched. Closing this.
