About Belenix Map

This is the official community map of all the members, developers and contributors of the Belenix OS and it's community. Every registered member of the website can mark his/her location using a map in account settings. You can mark location by clicking on the map or use the new geocode support to search for your address / city / state / country and get the marker to automatically appear at your location. The map is programmed to show different marker icons for different roles - core developer (red), new community member / normal user (blue), etc. It even has clustering support - shows a cluster icon where there are more than X users with a clubbed info window showing all their names together.

Steps involved in getting yourself on the map:
  1. Click and open the "account settings" link (found at the top right corner of the screen, if you are logged in)

    You have 3 options here to mark your location on the map:
    1. Just click anywhere on the map to mark the location
    2. Search by your street address, city, state, country or postal code and press the Geocode button. The map will display a marker on the location resulting from the search.
    3. As a last option, you may get your location data (latitude and longitudinal values) from an external service (like Google Maps) and enter it directly into the text boxes.

    After marking your location, just submit the form.
  3. Done. Go to the Belenix Map page to see yourself on the map :)
