I never knew this map existed until a few minutes ago and the vast majority, over 3/4 I think, of the members of this list aren't on the map. I now am "on the map." Therefore, it seems like this is a very inaccurate way to pick a List Meet site. It can be used to pick a Map Members Meet site, but not a list members meet site, unless one wants to make the assumption that those joining this Map are a random sample of the list members.

If this map is to be used, it would be a good idea to try to get list members to join it over a period of a few weeks and then try to work with the data it provides. This still wouldn't be perfect, but probably better than doing it now.
