I noticed this feature and it placed me in the middle of Australia - just south of the NT/SA border whilst I sitting comfortably watching the placid waters of the Swan River from Garvey Park in Ascot, Perth, WA.To find the maps click on members then go to user map.Thank You Aaron I like this feature.

Ditto. Perhaps a secret Web.I'm wondering what the "spider" icon means?
Does 'show yourself' map place you at roughly the correct location?I'm wondering what the "spider" icon means?
Other members won't see your location. IT staff, if they really want to bother, would be able to do so but that's with or without this feature being made available to members.I think I'd rather my exact location not to be shown....
I think at least the two of us must be occupying the same space.My location is smack bang in the middle of Australia I like that... Land rights ...

I can think of many other members on TS that I'd rather occupy the same space as me.
Now using home ADSL and as expected my location is at least shoeing add being in Perth. So problem seems to be in interpreting mobile service locations. Many users use their mobile phone.Does 'show yourself' map place you at roughly the correct location?
If it helps, Aaron, I'm currently using Vodaphon 4G on mobile phone.
(Perhaps land lines might provide more accurate information).
I was back in Perth on Wednesday morningNo one showing in Darwin. Tania is online.
I know accuracy isn't going to be 100% - ball park at best - unfortunately we seem to be playing TS in a very large ball park.
We only use the feature on the back end when a new user signs up, so we know they aren't from one of the regular spamming ip's from overseas.Other members won't see your location.

Watch out for what Phobe, I want spiders as many as we can get, they spread the word much faster than humans can nowdays.
Remote isolated outposts can be action packed ,, as seen in Priscilla Q of the D with the chaps missus displaying her special technique of table tennis.The map says there is an Administrator who's standing in the outback of South Australia north of Coober Pedy. HP, the ocean's further south!!

If that's the case I use a vpn service so most likely show up as in the states. Down with geofencing I sayAaron said it takes it from the ip address, I am in Darwin but my ip address is registered to Perth
