[UPDATE] BMXMap Rider & Spots Edition + vBulletin 3.6.1

[Wynex]

BIG UPDATE today. We've upgraded to the new vBulletin 3.6.1 which closed about 100 minor bugs and is more secure.

Additionally, I've finally uploaded the brand new BMX Rider & Spots Maps.

here are the links:

Enjoy! 8)

Woot, good work! Upgrading a forum for security is a good idea by itself, new features are a plus.

Only question now is, pardon my newb-ness... How do I use these maps? I can navigate around them fine, but I'd like to specify my location, and add some (public) spots (I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag regarding private spots like other people's trails). I searched the FAQ for 'map', but it returned no results.

Maybe a topic in rider hookup will sort things out.

What it all is, how to use it etc...

[Wynex]

thanks!

Ah, cheers.

[Wynex]

your inputs are killing the map :P
I have to fix a few things - the spots don't show up :lol:

[jawn]

I'm sorry if that's my fault :|

[Wynex]

Hehe not your fault. Problem fixed :wink:

Do you think you could add things like ledges, stair sets, handrails, banks, and gaps so we could add our street spots to the map too? Right now its very park specific, and thats only 1 part of BMX.

[Wynex]

Probably with the next update. In the meanwhile you all can take photos of your spots :)

[AaronBMX]

good update!!!! ty:P

[Wynex]

you're welcome :D
Wow! Already 110 riders on the map after one day!
We need more spots :P

I would if I could find pictures of my street spots.

I'd do Rom Park but I don't know where it is in Romford.

[Wynex]

maybe you can find it on the map. There is an option "Satellite" to show the real satellite photos instead of streets only.

Wow, :eek:

This is a fantastic addition to the Forum, only problem I can see with it is I'm gonna be too busy browsing it to post :lol:

I don't suppose there's any chance to add pics from a url instead of directly from your computer is there ??

[Wynex]

Umm it's better if you make new photos of the spots because they are probably better than old photos from other websites.
4 Pics showing the spot from all sides would be perfect :P

Just save the online pics to your comp and use them.
