Popular Post GolfSpy_APH 7,863 Posted March 4 Popular Post Share Posted March 4 Hello all! We are slowly getting closer to testing season (no I don’t have any inside information …. Right now). With that there has been a lot of work going on in the background to enhance the site and bring some improvements to the site. In this thread I will let you know all what is going on when we are getting close or about to launch any new features, structure and more. Without further delay the first update we are bringing to the membership is actually a older feature which ended up on the cutting room floor, but is bring brought back to life by popular demand. The Community Map! What is this? - The community map is a feature we had years ago and it’s pretty simple. It is a map of the world where you can tag your location and where you are located. Why now? Well the long and the short of it is I was able to get approval to purchase it and again it is a feature that has been asked for time and time again. Another key feature we are working on is Community engagement… I know we hear this all the time, but this is all part of a bigger plan to increase get togethers, events and a phenomenal community not just online, but in person as well. What can we do with it? This is a bit different than the older member map which has been renamed to Community Map. Again you can tag your location (home) so other spies can see who is all living in your area. We are also introducing a secondary function within this single application which is course reviews. It is pretty simple, have a course you want to write a review for? Go into the “create” go down to Community Map Marker and Select Course Review. From there find it on the map, mark it, add in the course name, a brief description and hit submit. It is after this that you are able to write your review on the course (unless it has already been created) and you can grade it out of your 5 stars however you like. We are also incorporating (at a later date) some of the player profile features (if you have it filled out) where when hovering over the player you can see their player profile data. Where is the Map Located? Well you can find the map here: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/communitymap/ Or simply go the the “Members” Tab at the top of any page and when the drop down comes you will find “Community Map” This was a very useful tool in the past in getting members together and creating a community that is more than just a forum. The great thing is it is also optional. Don’t want to take part? No requirement for testing or profile completion or any of that. This feature is there for you to use as you wish. Whether it is to check out course reviews, write your own on a course that has a review or doesn’t or seeing what spys are in your area which you may want to get a game in with this feature will allow you to do that. This is only the beginning and we have a lot more in store to bring you in the near(ish) future. Cheers, Jamie 20 12 Quote as of April 15, 2022 SuperSpeed 2020 from 100-112 and climbing!

Josh Ross 1,087 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hey, couple of things I noticed. One, the dropdown menu for Members is staying on the screen whenever on the map. It's happening on my phone and PC and I notice it in your screenshots too. Second, I don't have a create button showing up just yet. Am I jumping the gun? Love that we're bringing this back! 5 Quote Driver: RADSPEED XB PTC 10.5° Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 VII Stiff 3 Wood: SpeedZone 14.5° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 70 6.0 3 Hybrid: 2017 CLK 19° Fujikura Speeder Evolution HB Stiff 4 Hybrid: 2020 CLK 22° Mitsubishi Tensei Blue Stiff Irons: JPX 921 Forged 5-9, JPX 921 Tour PW Project X LZ 6.0 Blackout Edition Wedges: Edison Forged 49°, 53°, 57° Putter: Directed Force 2.1 34" Ball: Maxfli TourX (Thanks MGS for allowing me to test these!)

I'll look into it, but it may be a day or two before I get that sorted with other work taking priority. The create button is right up top and is a + (plus symbol) on mobile. I've logged out and was able to see it and logged in and it is there. It is the same spot where you can create topics, status updates and near the notification/message icons. 2 Quote as of April 15, 2022 SuperSpeed 2020 from 100-112 and climbing!

MattWillGolf 2,470 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The map feature is pretty cool. I plugged in my zip code and used the edit marker option to fine tune the location.

Course reviews are something I've wanted to bring to the forum in a better way for months and it is almost a happy accident that I was able to build it into this plugin. The whole two birds things. At some point I'll be going through and doing nearly all the Nova Scotia and BC courses I've played as well as some NZ courses... and Australia. I have a feeling I'l kill a lot of time on it. However this is probably the feature I'm least excited about rolling out... a lot more to come and I really hope that this will help grow the site, but also grow the community in ways we may didn't think of before. 6 3 Quote as of April 15, 2022 SuperSpeed 2020 from 100-112 and climbing!

Larryw 169 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Great addition, hope the Map helps build the community. I did notice that first adding location by zip code and choosing my county in Texas, it placed me at the geographic center of the county. I then changed to the "use my current location" option (instead of entering zip code) and it placed me exactly where my home is located. Don't know if this works better for everyone, but it worked great for me. Hope it helps.
