I also think it would be cool to see a map (albeit it will be much fewer dots, but in the same places) of users who are now online on a map. If you see a module like that for Joomla, let me know.

I think it's pretty neat - it's interesting to see new dots appear in placed like India and north Africa!
The motherload of OSS mapping is at:

But those would be roll yer own; logsIP, IPgeolocate,locationmap API,APIJoomla... yuck.
This already handles the API/Joomla stuff, but is static from users gallery info:
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/...y2:Modules:Map
This might be a lot closer:
http://forge.joomla.org/sf/projects/google_maps
Which leads to:

Just found this:

Looks pretty good at first glance.


HTH, and sorry for the rambling research
