There's a few things to think about for GDPR.. I'll get some advice from a guy in my work.
Tempted to restrict location to nearest town/city/council area. Don't want people sticking a pin right in their front garden!

Coming along nicely! Well done sir!
I like the idea of the Z4 model subcategory. I assume then you could filter to only show results for e85/e86? But guess it doesn't really matter. A member is still a fellow enthusiast after all
I think you should be able to stick your "pin" where you want? I live in a random area between two towns but we have a coop and a post office, for ebay and stuff I generally use that as my post code so its close, but not too close. Better than being locked to an area which is actually 5 miles or more away from the actual location? Particularly prevalent if you're in London? An extra mile is sometimes an extra hours worth of traffic!

Good point!
Can you create a grid style location?
Rather than putting in specifics like council area or post code etc just select the square that you're in where the squares = 5 mile sq or so?

did get a bit further with it but not deployed it yet. Had some other priorities come up unfortunately so it's slow progressdjstan said:

I published up the latest version but it's not come that far. pin clustering added to handle lots of pins in the same area, and a basic geocoder implemented (location search)

Data will be stored in Azure blob storage and JSON generated on request.
There'll be some kind of form to complete to sign up

Ha, fair enough!
btw: What's wrong with a nice simple PHP / MySQL Setup?
I don't use it personally as I build apps on Microsoft tech, but it definitely serves a purpose love it or hate it.

How do you feel about doing that for this? I'm going to struggle with tie over the next few weeks. I could finish off all the front-end/mapping piece and you handle the DB and API for me to get the data out in JSON format

I've not, it's just a flat azure app service I have with blob storage service.
We need to find someone who can host that if it goes down that route. I've got Google maps on a month's free trial at the moment too and although it's not even a live website it's already accrued about £7 worth of usage. This may be a complete non starter anyway

Dang!! That sucks.
I have hosting myself, I have an "unlimited" package so I can host it no problems and obv have PHP / MySQL etc so hosting is no issue.
I'm guessing there's no "free" alternative? I thought google maps was free, but then in fairness, I've not had to deal with google maps on sites in such a long time
