Every person on the map, amazing!

Check out this article I came across this morning.

http://www.universetoday.com/99432/a...-s-and-canada/

Click on the map to see all the dots, you can zoom in which is pretty cool!

Interesting to see all the patters emerge where populations spring up along major arterial. The cities are clear to see, but poke around out in the sticks and every 30 miles there is a town

What about a "where are we" World map for the IIS members??
We did this for the SGL forum in the UK - very interesting results!

A shame you can't zoom the maps.

Can't something similar be done in google mapmaker or something?
Although you would have to trust members to add their own marker.

Just off subject for a short time:

My girlfriend insists that I am stalking her.

Ooh... Well she isn't my girlfriend yet.
