Apparently the radius label doesn't work in marker files for my version of xplanet. I'm sure I saw examples of labels floating in space over the markers on the globe.
Try http://cvs.apache.org/~sgala/map.html
I had to do some dirty tricks to get it working, cause xplanet will not "label" markers without showing the label. So I use a 1pt label with the user name (generated through the private_map.jpg) to build the map and then the map.jpg to display. It is noticeable that people with long usernames will have active links longer to the right. :-(
I tried other variants, like:
http://cvs.apache.org/~sgala/map1.html
I would like feedback about committing some of these changes or sending patches for further processing.
Meanwhile I'm musing about some kind of policy statements that would allow people to clarify their permissiong of such privacy invading activities...

Ben - could you also put the harversted lat/lon list there ?
Prefered: cvs co committers cd committers/krell make tmp/geomarkers
Currently: http://cvs.apache.org/markers.txt
For that you only need unix and perl.
I'd like to slap a WMS (Open GIS Web Mapping Server) interface over it - so one can doe things like zoom in; or change the background, add roads, etc.
Oh that would be neat!

Wow, great work Ben and Santiago. I added to the FAQ to explain geographic co-ordinates. Some people have their latitude and longitude reversed.
Thanks!
The obvious ones are: bdelacretaz, gstein, jwoolley
Actually they haven't exposed their location, so I dumped then in Antarctica.
