I've pinned my local pub. It's near enough and honestly, even if I'm not actually there the proprietor might know where to find me

Well, this is quite stalking, aren't?

But, might make some usefull notion about how we pentaxians are spread around the world.

Cool!

Great idea. Shame Ireland's not more members though.

I marked my local Post office, if you can convince Bernadette you need to find me, she knows how to get a hold of me.

But given that my email and phone numbers are on my website, she's pretty sceptical.

This is a nice feature. Hope a lot of people use it.

Caver · 07-10-2017, 06:56 AM

Thanks Adam, awesome feature!

Weird. Google maps read my mind. Few years ago i was thinking about moving in the UK. Now maps predicted I live there

I have to spread the news because right now we are just 2 Pentaxians from Hungary and I know at least 15 people shooting Pentax

Worldwide Pentax User Map - PentaxForums.com

Adding your location is optional and you can choose the degree of accuracy you want (I don't recommend pinning your home address, for example!). If you set your location (even if you decide not to make it public), the map will show you the 10 nearest members with public locations.

The map is accessible via the "forum" dropdown menu on both the homepage and the forum, as well as through a link at the top of the member list and through the sidebar of each member's profile.

It seems that I am unable to add my location (Greece). What am I doing wrong?

Go to the Worldwide Pentax User Map - PentaxForums.com link, toggle Update/hide my location button - then grab the ony marker on the map and drag it to the desired location, then press submit. That's all!

Hi Adam,

When I go to update my location on the map it tells me that there is an error in that there is no data supplied.

Regards.
