All,

I remade the community gamermap from scratch. To match the simplified styling the web is crying for I put extra effort in making it all easy for our members.

The map now also features an online gamers function, so you can immediately see who's online in what region (red and green markers).

To register your own marker you have to be a registered member of XLN. Moreover Xbox Live Nation advises you NOT to set your marker on your exact location for privacy reasons. Best way is to use a nearby landmark. If you are a minor, please first get parental consent before placing your markers. Markers can be removed without warning. Parental consent can be send via the Contact us form.

To access the Community Map just click the "Live Services" menu or the "Live functions menu" on the community forum.

If you are logged in you'll see a link "edit your location".

On the left of the map you'll see an alphabetical list of the gamertags that have selected to be on the map. Clicking the names will do the magic and load additional Live gamer information and link to the live DNA of that gamer.

Enjoy this new service.

I think the live proximity is one of the cooliest features Ive seen in awhile. Its pretty cool to see where some gamers are around you.

I really dig this map. I just can't figure out why some are out in the Atlantic ocean.

it seems some people to set their marker in the middle on nowhere just to be "funny".

For privacy reason it's best to put it on a big landmark near you but the ocean is a big landmark
