I've finally gotten around to creating a Community Map! Please feel free to add yourself to the map here: https://surveyorconnect.com/usermap/

Also, please only one submission per person. Duplicates will be deleted. I'm currently working on a solution to only permit one submission per user account.

We don't want your full street address... just your city/town, state/province, and country. Just a general idea to see where our members are from.

This is considered a beta feature at the moment. If you experience any oddities, have any trouble, or have some ideas to make it better, please let me know by replying in this thread. 🙂

I think that is an interesting feature, but I can't see how to add a position to it.

It may be that the actual map frame exceeds the window it is rendered in? Not sure.

@mark-silver You should see a + button at the top right corner of the map. 🙂

@wendell 

See attachment, full screen capture. I think the viewport is bigger than the screen.

Do not see the + button at the top right.  Can zoom down to the precise location but can't figure out how to mark that spot for inclusion

I can navigate okay.  I tried a bunch of things, and can't add a marker.

At one point (I forget the sequence) it asked if Surveyor Connect could remember my location and I said yes.  That seemed to connect the dot button under the + and - with the master site for my ISP, which is in another state (I get a lot of stuff that thinks I'm there).

When I am not logged in to the website I can see the + but it takes me to the  registration page. When I'm logged in no + is visible

This is why we beta test! Ok, let's try this again. I think you'll have better luck now. 🙂

The map itself may act a little weird until we get a few entries in there, so don't let that bother you.

I was able to get to the enter location screen and entered the data but no change was added to the map after I hit submit

I added my location but I have not seen the map update. Also it would be nice to have the + and - to zoom in and out back , I don't see them now.

I've added my location multiple times but it's not showing on the map. Is there an "upload" time perhaps? I clicked the BIG orange button that reads, "add location" but nothing shows up on the map. 

I kinda thought since I had added my location, there might be a notification that I didn't need to submit my location again? As it currently sits, I can add my location many times and it's like I didn't do it the first time.

The button appears in MS Edge browser, but map doesn't update after I hit submit and/or reload.

I added my location twice but it doesn't appear on the map.  Had to use the '+' and '-' keys to zoom in/out.

Forgot...using Chrome browser Win10
