[OSM-talk] Users in your area - on a map?

Hullo,

The users in your area feature is definitely a big step forward, but it would be handy if you could see *where* they are. The radius is pretty big, so I can see SteveC, OJW and Firefishy, none of whom are (so far as I know) mapping areas particularly close to East Dulwich in London where I live. Once everyone in London puts their location in, that list is going to be pretty much useless for me AFAICS. If they all showed up as markers in a different colour with a tooltip to say which marker is which person, that would be just grand.

Another feature for the future would be to allow multiple locations. I'm sure other people map in more than one place, I do bits and bobs in East Dulwich and further south in Hackbridge/Sutton.

Ten thumbs up for all the improvements in general, though!

Kind regards,
Tom
