New Feature - Map of all of a users owned caches on their profile page

How about adding a feature (perhaps for premium users) that provides a map showing

all the owned caches of a member accessible from their profile page- example- I

click on john q cacher's profile page, select the tab to see all of

his caches, and click a button to see them plotted on google maps?

Am posting here to see if there is any interest - Perhaps a feature would be to let the profile owner turn on or off this option.

First reaction to this proposal is wondering if it is actually possible. While many cachers have all their caches in a relatively small area (a 50-100 mile radius), how useful would the map be if their cache dispursement was several thousand miles or more?

 

And....... there are quite a few COs that have placements as that!

The basic idea is neat to think about, but there is a way to do this as it is. It does require some work, but you can create a BM for al the caches that one person ownes and then create a PQ off that and view it in google earth or google maps. I created one of my own caches and created a map. I may use it on my profile after shrinking it down a little, but I don't see this as a feature that likely every going to happen in the suggested form. As I said, neat idea...

I'd like to do that for just caches I've found--and they are scattered across the US.

It'd be a sea of yellow smilies where I live, and then more sparse as the radius increased.

There may be a way to do that and/or what Tahoe_Loren described using macro's in GSAK.
