SMC members map

Not if you log in through a VPN client server, which would show the host IP. Most of the time I show up in Tennessee or Florida, and it's annoying because I'm always getting advertising suggestions for those locatons on websites that track your IP.

I don't even need a VPN. Most retailers web sites have me about 30 miles from what I actually am.

How big will this map be...? Nominating ones location is enough. If you want to contact someone who is in your area, just ask. It's done regularly to my recollection. I am personally opposed to the concept of a map. It is feeding more free data to the Google's etc. I am under no illusions as to what is known about me. Its just that my data as with everyone else's is aparrently valuable otherwise no one would be interested in it. I just try to avoid giving it away for free if there is an alternative. Cheers

A location map is fun, even without contact details.

The AAW has one for member woodturning chapters. It's interesting to see the distribution.
