You might have noticed the new 'All New Location Map' link at the top of the forums above the banner. This is for the Foccers Location Map from Rubbermat.
The two main changes from his original one are that foccers can maintain their own locations and that only those on the active users list appear on the map. This will mean that it will be updated more often and will not be cluttered by those who have left the board.
Click the link and add your nearest TOWN/CITY and the FIRST BIT OF YOUR POSTCODE. Only the first 4 characters of your postcode will be stored - a full postcode will locate your stealable bike to just a few houses!
If you were on the old map your details from it will be shown - however you must re-enter them to appear on the map.
There's also a button to view the maps as they stand (they will fill out as people add their locations) so you will be able to see who is in your area.
There is also the facility to see a map of a foccer's rough location, the weather forecast for their area and even send them a message.
I'm sure the whole board would like to thank Rubbermat for all the time he has spent on the many aspects of this useful tool. If you have any comments please let one of us know.
