Members Map....
Just noticed it used to give you a direct line between members location....it now shows the route by road...I'm never very quick on the uptake,so how long has it been like that then ?
Distance is now also in km too...?"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Don't take the route it suggests to my place..... you may find your car slightly exploded into tiny bits I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Sorry guys, just seen this
Yes the maps got a significant overhaul to bring them up to date with the new Google maps API.
Part of this was replacing the pointless as-the-crow-flies line on the map with a route, where possible.
Distances should be in both miles and km now, as we are international 8)06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

feedabck on maps...
Would it be an idea to have a sponsors map? Mobile folk like Geoff, Flack et al could have an approximate area covered.
Might be handy sometimes to see who you're near if i.e you break down on holiday.
Maybe not of much practical use, but at least now the idea is out there instead of roumbling around in my big empty head.

Is it possible to see on the map, who has an IID BT Gap diagnostic tool with which they are prepared to help other members out?

water wings are needed to find a good proportion of members, way beyond the wading depth of my truck!

Very tricky to put in a location
Suggestion...
Why can't we simply put in our location instead of using the useless list?
Can you add Costa Rica please?
I can't be the only one?
there is at least 1 member in alajuela.Fixing LR problems very far from Solihull.
That's why my newest car is a 1999 Disco 2 V8 with 285.000 miles
The problem is the missing documentation, not the LR
