backers on the map

@mikeg: the page needs to be named the same as your Roboxing user name, ie. [[:user:mikeg]]. You can make it display a different label though: [[:user:mikeg|Michael Gordon]] if you prefer.

[Ian @datman]

I’m on the map. But not in the list of users??

[gid @gid My Robox is a Green Kickstarter Beta]

Impressive!

Actually, adding the name to the bottom of the user_locations page is just to make the page easier to create. The map generation script just looks at all user pages.

I ran into the same problem your google maps have in your wiki pages, the zoom control looks distorted.
Did some searching, found this little advice that solves the problem: Bootstrap distorts some Google Maps Controls and Overlays

so copy paste next few lines in the head section and google maps is happy again.

it’s a small map, clustering would be fun, even now:markerclusterer
Easy counting is one thing, you really have to zoom a lot until you see there are too backers in Portishead.

it’s as easy as adding this js to your code
<script src=”http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer/src/markerclusterer_compiled.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
and throwing all your markers into a clusterer like this:
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);
