       Introducing Maps 
       By: Griff Grof Date: November 9, 2012, 2:52 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The walks section is only just starting to be revamped  ;D And
       we've already added several new features to make sharing walks
       more enjoyable, easier and enticing  :)
       Maps. View all posted walks on a rich map
       Sharing walks has never been better here on CacheWalker. The
       main new addition is the maps, featuring on every topic/board of
       the walks section. You'll notice several markers on it... these
       are the starting points of all the walks posted. Click on them
       and you'll see a brief summery and a link to the posted thread.
       To get your posted walk on the map strait away include the
       starting coordinates of the walk (Not all walks posted have to
       have caches on them!) and a marker will appear on the map. If
       you don't include this it may well be that it will not appear on
       the map, as we cannot guess where a walk (which could be further
       afield) starts. As time goes on we are planning to plot the
       entire walk on the map, not just the starting point  :)
       Gallery integration. Share images from your walks
       The gallery is still plodding along. And now it has been
       integrated with the walks section. Every time you post an image
       in the "Walks" gallery category, a post will be made in the
       Walks board sharing your image, and vice versa. This will be a
       good way of sharing the images from the walks you post  ;D
       Those are just two of the several new features we're working on
       adding. I wanted to get the Walks section back up sooner rather
       than later, so decided to leave the other new features for now.
       Please let us know what you think, how we can make the map and
       gallery integration better, and what else you'd like to see in
       the walk section - bring CacheWalker forum back to it's roots -
       sharing walking routes  ;D
       Please note: To get the revamped walks board and map growing we
       need YOU to post walks (following the guidelines posted on the
       "Walks General" board). Get sharing!
