Anyway, if anyone spots me, let me know.

For the admins:

Look at southwalesvolvos forum index page. In the menu at the top, you will see "Phoogle map". That takes you to a map with members locations. Members set their map position in their profiles, and it gets automatically added to this map. The map default start position and zoom level can be adjusted from the admin panel.
