Low and behold have introduced some additional map improvements.
In no particular order they are:
1. Mass conversations with up to 100 members within the radius you can draw on the map. This is currently restricted to senior members with more than 100 posts to prevent possible spam issues. We may change this at a later date. Note we have a restriction of 100 members max per conversation. A typical use case is if you zoom in on your approximate location (or any location) and click the start conversation button on the right. This will create a new conversation with all members in your radius.
2. New privacy settings including browser location, under your profile->privacy->user map privacy settings you now have full control of how you'd like your location to show. For example you can randomize your location within a specific distance, remove yourself from the map entirely, use your account level specified location entry, use your IP address or use your browser location for the most precise location (this will trigger a browser prompt which you need to say Yes to to use your browser location). On a mobile browser this should give you a pretty accurate AGPS location.
3. New Radius filters, you can now draw, move and resize circles on the map dynamically to include specific locations.
4. Brought back the Map icon under the postbit
Will be doing further mods to this shortly.
