I posted this in the Suggestions thread, but it was a bit hidden:



MAP THING



As it's a freebie we're limited to 100 pins, so first come, first stuck smile



Does anyone have the techno wizardry to take this idea and expand it? Get a more detailed map, allow more pins, perhaps tie it in with people profiles?



That'd be cool....

warning - that program seems to put your pin location 2 or 3 pin widths below where you intended (I think)!
