On the other hand, people concearned about revealing info about themselves are not forced to enter any data they don't like. Entering only the city, area, country should be enough to put a pin on the map. This seems like the obvious solution to me. If anyone wished to visit, they would still

I have to agree with Aaron, a job well done! I think we are the lucky guys. User density in England and the Netherlands is higher (per square mile) than in he US :-) There are 408 registered users on linuxcnc.org but still less than 60 users on the map so there is still some work to do - for the

Possibly because it doesn't work well with Linux systems! I tried it, when it first comes up you see a satellite view for a couple seconds, then the whole thing goes white. If you refresh the view, it starts panning all over, and seems that you have no control over what it is doing.
