MakerMap spreading to France and elsewhere

[Mathilde]

Hi everyone,

I presented the MakerMap to the french makers' community in an article on LeMonde.fr blog : http://makingsociety.blog.lemonde.fr/2013/02/13/makermap-carte-ressource-de-la-communaute-maker/

Hope it will help grow the map in France as we have many spaces and resources available for makers. The more international, the better.

I guess it makes sense for now to have it centered on the Bay Area but it would be great to be able to change the default location more easily.

Yea, this is definitely something we need! Is there a way to just do a simple geo-grab and center on the closest city to you with an MakerMap leader?

I.e. If I'm in Reno, NV it would just zone to the local list. Not sure if it should do this, or just center in on your exact position and let you navigate from there.

Thoughts guys?

It does this if you're using a browser that implements the html5 geolocation API (and you approve the lookup).

Oh cool - good to know. Not sure if it asked me before or not. I'm on the latest full Chrome release, so I assume it can pull that

Yeah, IIRC it works on recent WebKit browsers, Firefox and IE 10.
