[Achtung!] Airsoft Map of Ireland - Add your location

kdouglas

I threw this together in work today, basically it uses google maps to draw markers of where people are, you can add your own location too, simply find where you live on the map by either zooming in and moving around or enter your town address (probably best to keep it to the locality rather than pinpointing your exact address), type a comment if you wish (your username will suffice or if you want to leave a message saying if you can offer lifts for people that need them or somesuch) and hit the "Add Me!" button

When it's built up it'll be a useful way to find other skirmishers near you and it'll give a nice demographic of where everybody is from.

This is hosted on the IAA website, however it is for all airsoft players regardless of IAA membership, its just a shorter web address using irishairsoft.ie than it is using my personal server

Credit to Lethal_Bullet for the original suggestion of having a google earth map of everybody's location.

it's definitely not necessary to login, there's nothing in the page that requires you to be logged in to post.... that's very odd

ow do i add myself?

kdouglas

follow the instructions....

Either type your address in the bar at the top and hit go, or navigate the map to your location, make sure the map is centred on your location

Then type a comment if you wish and click "Add Me!"

Anyone can register for the website to post on the forums and reply to annoucements, this is open to the Public once they register which has no implication or link with IAA Membership.

It wont work for me either and I am logged into the IAA site.
Tried using Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers and no joy.

Google maps never works for me with firefox in work on linux or on the pc,
seems to only like that horrid IE

Nah, you live in the VHI building, either that or the church.,:p:D

Yep.

Weird there must have been some time delay or something.
This morning I inserted my names twice once using IE and once using Firefox
None appeared.

Now when I go to firefox the two labels appear fine.
(They dont appear on IE even though I do a page refresh so must
be crap cache management)

try hitting Ctrl-F5, it forces the browser to refresh properly

you sound awfully familiar with that area yourself ? :p

Ah to be fair the marker is closer to the cop shop than the knocking shop.
Any way to remove the markers? I'm living outside of the city.

shouldn't need any time at all, once you click add, it should refresh the page and your marker should be there....

as i said to bullets, try hitting Ctrl-F5 incase it's a caching problem

centre the map on whichever marker you want removed, zoom right into it and leave a comment simply saying Delete

i'll then know which one it is because the co-ordinates will be the same and ill remove them

Bloody hell, boston and Vtec and unamed are like next door neighbours!

The two closest to me have no info attached, third is a tie between KD and liamo.

Hey dar, is your field covered from public view?:p

kdouglas

Whoops, there was a slight bug that meant people were unable to add their location since sometime yesterday evening, it's fixed now though for anyone that was having problems.

Cheers

I count 50-55 players on the map.
I reckon in terms of current airsoft customers, there's a least 10 times that amount out there, with possibly serveral times that in terms of potential customers.

There are currently 63 records in the database, easily 10 times more than that out there alright
