2005

Located to the left is the new Visitors Geographical Localization World Map powered by Geoloc. Sadly, the Cayman Islands being nothing more than a spec of rock in the middle of a lot of water, the map sometimes shows me as being somewhere in the US. But it should work fine with all of you users from real countries... Green dots represent currently logged in visitors (or who have been here in the last 5 minutes) and red dots are a log of past visitors, updated once every 24 hours.

I invite you to leave a comment if the map seems to show your location accurately, or to complain that it does not...

2009 Update: The Geoloc widget has since been replaced with ClustrMaps, shown on the right.

something else, isn’t he ?" »

Is there a way to make the map larger as it is so small on my 1024 X 768 display that I wouldn’t be able to decipher the European nations apart?
I noticed that by clicking on the map the geoloc website opened in a new window - French version. No problem, just wondered if it was intentional... »

« Well, it opens in French because it is a French site... Who ever said that the only good thing to come out of France was bread?

And the only way to get a bigger map is to get the paying version, which I won’t do without testing it first for a while, and because I wouldn’t pay to have the Cayman Islands appear in South Carolina on the map... »
