Status of the "Member Map"

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I never found it a particularly useful feature anyway. It only showed the current location of members who are currently online. I'm more interested in know which pilgrims live in my area.
 
I remember a couple from Redding posting a year ago (at least) but that's hours from you ;)
 
A selection of Camino Jewellery
They were mentioning something about landing in Mannheim (Germany) army airport so I thought they were both US Army personel. Well, maybe not. Never mind :)

But I was in Redding last autumn. Just visiting though ;)

The very first person I spoke with outside the PO in SJPP a few days ago was a man who lives in my neighborhood in Arizona!

And I was in Redding in the spring visiting my sister. It was a good visit because she (finally) said she would join me on the Camino in the fall!
The Sundial Bridge is beautiful!
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The member map gave me some problems, and it sees it was not used much, so I removed it... I have some plans for a new way for finding forum members "not far from you"... but more on that later :)
That’s a wonderful idea, @ivar. The best I’ve been able to find is a three hour drive to a park that is located in between my home, @jpflavin1 and @Camino Chrissy. Maybe now we will find a huge contingent for our next Starved Rock State Park walk!

Psss. @Camino Chrissy — Joe and I have had an email about getting together this fall for a walk, let’s figure this out.

Sounds good Laurie...I'd love that! I should be available most any time, except for these dates...
Sept. 10-12 and October 14-27
I hope to hear of potential plans!

While it can be useful if forum members want to publish their location I hope that it will be 'opt in' rather than 'opt out'. Some times some of us do not want our location published or visible to others, even forum members, but prefer to keep it private.
Personally we have a Camigos get together where we know people from Devon, Dorset and beyond, but even then many do not give more concise details.
So - yes please @ivar, but a safeguard by default for privacy please.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Yes, it will be opt in... I try to default to as private as possible, this is why I no longer use google analytics for example. All email with me is also off google.
 
Even now my location that was shown is actually 10km from where I really live. It showed the internet knot instead of my home address because my IP number is attached to that "knot" or should I say "distribution center"? ;)
