Map of Users

RockChalkJayhawk · 03-02-2010, 12:55 PM

Is there any way to make a map of the Seqanswers Members? Anthony Fejes has a neat one, or even a google map would be cool.

Just an idea...

Could dump all the "location" entries, then automate a google->long/lat. There is a lot of junk entered in that field though.

Not a bad idea. I can get you the data if you can push it forward.

I could use a break in my work - send over the data and I'll try tossing something together.

Thanks Spenthil, share the code if you end up writing something.

So I just realized I have this map from Google Analytics, will post it asap.

Alternatively, if we could find a ip->location lookup service we could toss in all the apache logs.

The user location field was a bad idea...

ECO - I did some geolocation stuff in a past life, should be able to toss something together pretty quickly (and ya, user location probably isn't that accurate). Send over the data if you want me to give it a go.

Also, I'll be sure to post up instructions on how I did it.

Put some of the Analytics maps up here: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4211

If you want to see more, let me know.

It would be pretty cool to have a realtime visualization of daily visitors...
