Member Map goes Beta

mojo (Terry) · #1 26-02-2005, 02:39 AM

For those of you who have longed to appear as a little red dot somewhere in the world - here it is. I've finished the member map.

It still needs some work and I'll try and get higher resolution maps to be able to zoom in to your state/country. But I'm still waiting for NASA's Visible Earth site to come back online so I can download the hi res images.

If you have any suggestions, let me know and i'll see what I can do.

It's fairly accurate. So if you happen to appear in the ocean, don't abuse me - i'm just plotting you where you told me to

have fun.

That is awesome mojo, most excellent work! You're a genius! (there, I said it

Well done. Good to see I'm the only Kiwi. Come on Gary, sort your sh*t out.
gaa_ian must have good sark skies right out there in the middle of the ocean.

It seems that I might be in the water as well.

silvinator · #6 26-02-2005, 08:46 AM

Hmm, there are a few mermen lurking out there

Looks great mojo! Fantastic job you've done there.
Everyone, we need more dots!

Most Excellent work Mojo.

Technical question:- Hey how do you guys in boats keep your scope steady?

Starkler (Geoff) · #10 26-02-2005, 12:55 PM

The company I work for are becomming agents for a GPS vehicle tracking system.

Can my dot be updated in real time ?

Thanks guys. My pleasure... of sorts.

Ya know what Paul? Mike and I were wondering earlier this week how you kept the scope steady in the middle of the pacific

RAJAH235 · #13 26-02-2005, 07:07 PM

Help, Help, I can't swim!! Anyone got a life raft?
Good job Mojo.

gbeal · #14 26-02-2005, 07:18 PM

Rob,
I actually thought I had my s#$t sorted, but no dot. Maybe in stealth mode.
Not sure. I do like being anonymous anyway.

Robby · #15 26-02-2005, 08:50 PM

Gary,
I think you need to change the format for your Lat & Lon to xx.xxx
Like -40.350 & 175.617 for me.

PS.. You've got me hot on the next version of Star-Mate... It's gonna have an integrated USB hub, and integrated USB-Serial-LX200 control..

Cheers

Great job on the map.
Geez, I feel old compared to some of you guys. Don't think I'll post my pic now. LOL

Awesome job Mojo, Thanks.

Hey Ian (gaa_ian) can you pick us up some accessories at the GS factory while you are close to Taiwan!

RAJAH235 · #18 27-02-2005, 12:39 AM

Now, now, Jeanette. Don't be shy. Give us old guys a thrill, PLEASE!

gbeal · #19 27-02-2005, 07:30 AM

OK, done it. And in decimal as per the Heaven Above page.
Don't blame me for the next version of this monster you have created, I am happy with the earlier version. It sounds like a winner.
Gary
P.S. can I have a dot now?? Please.

parsec · #20 27-02-2005, 11:25 AM
