Just a shout about the latest upgrade to the Soul Map feature
Quite an extensive upgrade ...
1. New Marker Groups
Map markers are now grouped, opening up this feature for many uses.
SoulMap markers can now be viewed and added into these various marker groups
- Members location - Integrated with Profiles (only one per member)
- Venues - Current
- Venues - Historical
- Labels, studios etc
- Record Shops
These groups can be expanded so if there are some groups that you may think be useful additions then just let us know
2. Members Locations Markers Now Integrated with Profiles
The members locations are now integrated with the Profiles location field
eg if you enter an location on your profile (location setting) then it will also be picked up and added to the SoulMap automatically (if found) at the same time.
This has been done for all active members account with a location entered - you may need to check your own as it is an automatic process and so subject to errors if location details not clear
This has meant that there are now 4000+ active members location markers now showing in the Soul Map
3. All members can now add locations to any of the groups directly
All members can add their location plus any other markers.
To add you just follow the 'browse to markers' link and then the 'add marker' will show in the top right of every marker list page
4. Future
Now this is in place it means the next wave of improvements will include more direct Event Guide integration and more
