That works great! I will be updating this as we move around starting next week as we head west for the winter.

Maybe I am missing something: Would be nice if there was a specific note/symbol indicating whether someone was offering their place as a stop over.
RE: Location map? - prairieschooner - 10-23-2012
That would be helpful maybe another color?

Sorry I didn't see this until now, but this weekend I'll add another pin/color for that.

Alright, I moved us to a different mapping plugin due to an old insecure version we were using, which brings about two things. 1. We lost all pin locations. 2. We have much more functionality and we can now post and reply to other peoples locations using the forum. I have my example pin up on the page now, if you click it you can reply.
You can have as few or as little pins as you want and can edit your location at any time.
Hopefully this isn't too confusing, but it gives us more power and flexibility.
It can be accessed via the same "User Location" button on the top, or http://newellgurus.com/Forum-Usermap . You then click "New Thread" to make a new pin. You type in stuff on the left box for your location, then click "Get GeoLocation". When you're on the map, you can right click on pins to see the description, or left click to see the post/forum.
You can also view peoples profiles and see their locations on the map: http://newellgurus.com/User-Scott
If the hover/popup ends up getting annoying, I can get rid of that, just let me know.

Fixed it, for some reason every account type was able to use it except regular users.
