DumaOS Geo Location


Recommended Posts

What would be great is having the ability for Geo Location to pin point your location instead of doing it manually. Cause it always thinks im in America if you was to reset. Eg.. Adding your postcode or share location option that you click so it puts you in the right location Automatically. :) also one more thing named countries on the map as im not that great with geography would love to know what people im connected to also allow users to toggle the named cities on and off. something like this screenshot i did below. Or color code the countries so we know what we are connecting to like france would be blue white and red and Ireland white orange and green. Also Shadow around the edges of the map so it stands out a bit like 3D Effect :)

You can set it exactly or more precisely via the API:

curl 'http://r1/cgi-bin/sethome.sh' --data 'lat=34.390143383533676&lng=-61.25071357087313'

or PostMan

New Query

POST

Body:

lat = YOUR LAT

lng = YOUR LNG

 

to get your lat and lng simply go to maps.google.com then type in your address or zip code or city or whatever and you'll get the following type of link

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Louisville,+KY+40205/@38.2213512,-85.7148349,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88690b44b3dbcfcf:0xa40a21a8db56b9cd!8m2!3d38.2214782!4d-85.6794434

Where it says 

@38.2213512,-85.7148349

The first number is your lat the second is your lng

yup definitely just a stop gap until the feature is added by netduma.  They could add it so you just type anything into a textbox it then hits google api geo locate which will give back the lat and lng then they can use that.

I can just imagine netduma taking you on abc you know so much about coding. :)

Due to my peculiar location, and the weird shape of Europe, when I set my location exactly and try to include certain parts of the continent with great backbones (let's say Finland) the circle will expand so much as to cover Arabian Peninsula, and players over there are always horribly lagging.

 

It can be very useful to set your home to a fake location. Right now I have central Europe + UK, Sweden and Finland covered without having to touch Africa or Asia. I lose Spain though, but players there are mostly lagging too in the lobbies I played.

yup you can do this, literally can set yourself to anywhere in the world.  The geofilter just uses your "home" as the center point for the circle
