Maps To Return To Forum
A few years back I added Yahoo Maps to my Koolmoves and Flex based forums (myBBS and FlexBBS) and users could pick their location on earth at registration and it was also used for the “who is online” panel to show who was online at any given time. It was a Yahoo Staff Pick back then and hugely popular with my users but I removed it from later forums builds and versions because the Yahoo Map API was AS2 based and I was migrating to AS3 and figured I would revisit the ability once the API’s went AS3. I always wanted to use a Google map instead of Yahoo but at the time the Google Map API was not as useful to me (in the context of what I was doing) as Yahoo’s was. This is no longer the case and the Google Map AS3 API is pretty slick and has my gears already spinning to add the maps back to my KM-CODEX Desktop app. Long story short, expect to see this added to the next build of “Power Windows”.
