Thanks, re, please do keep an eye out.
You'd have thought that someone would offer this as a paid-for service but, thus far, I've only found that boil on the backside of the internet, Bravenet.

Yep, I'd tried the script you mention and another one I found (name evaporated).
However, even ignoring the important security issue, I found 'em both to be rather buggy. Also, one of 'em managed to noticeably slow down general forum function (presumably server load) and that, coupled with the other issues, put me right off.

It's nowt life threatening, as we're doing just fine without a guestmap, but please do give me a shout if you happen upon any candidates.

Cheers for that, re, but the forums run on VBulletin.

That Aardvark map looks pretty slick but there doesn't seem to be a way to use it as a guest/member map.

Chaps,

Does anybody know of a Guest/member map service for use on a forum and/or site?

I know there's that nasty Bravenet thing, which seems to be widely used, but I wont have anything to do with any Bravenet service.

I've looked at a few server-side scripts, mainly php based, but never had much luck getting 'em to work reliably.

Commercial/paid service happily considered providing the cost isn't too silly.

Any clues anyone?

Cheers in advance.
