This should be fixed now.
The fix should be deployed to Early Access and Public versions of the repo, together with a whole host of compatibility fixes.
As a part of that work I’ve increased the difference between the versions.
The Early Access version exposed to sufficiently privileged Sponsors has the following features which the public version of Locations currently lacks:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Users-map globe | Adds an interactive 3D globe view for the Users Map, with avatars placed by location, drag/touch rotation, zoom, reset, search focus, user-card clicks, and always-on bump mapping. |
| Globe screen saver | Optional experimental idle screen saver showing a rotating 3D globe with user avatars below the header. |
| Enhanced users-map filters | Adds controls for result limit, search type, search term, and group filtering on the Users Map. |
| Nearby topic filter | Adds a nearby topic-list filter based on distance from the current user’s location. |
| IP-based user location lookup | Automatically estimates and stores user locations from IP data, with configurable trigger mode, granularity, cooldown, GeoNames resolution, skip-if-existing behavior, and debug logging. |
This means the maintained public version has been slightly downgraded. I’m afraid that’s necessary to ensure my sponsors get sufficient benefit.
If you would like these extra features, consider sponsoring me and making sure you go for a monthly tier which includes Early Access. Sponsoring me at the right tier will give you access to the Early Access version within 24 hours.
