Hi All, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this? I'm wanting to get an idea of where Poser users are worldwide, so I've added a new feature to my site, and I'd love you to help out by putting your dot on the world map. Currently the feature requires Internet Explorer 5.0 and above, I'm still busy on the Netscape etc. version. All those who dot-their-spot will receive a free Poser conforming clothing item at the end of October, and will be entered into a draw to win one of my market place character packs. http://www.3duniverse.co.za/map.asp cheers, dEowyn posted Tue, 22 October 2002 at 7:24 AM

Heh this is funny. But the longitude/latitude is a bit offset, if I find the position on the link from PabloS I end up in SWEDEN :o( So I plced the dot at the point where it should be on the map (approximately, all of Denmark is filled with my dot now G) but the longitude/latitude is not correct. Neat idea though :o)

The longitude/latitude isn't quite right - at least for non-US cities. Tried the numbers given for Ottawa and it put me much too far west. I ended up placing my dot close where I knew it should be. Some people are a little off though (must have gone with the longitude & latitude given). There's one dot for Montreal that's way north near James Bay and a dot for Toronto that has it close to New Brunswick.
