View your Recent Visitors on a Google Map

[webmaster]

You can now view your recent visitors on a Google Map. Click on a marker and you will be given all that user's details. This can be found under "Recent Visitor Map" in the left side menu with the rest of the stats options.

I hope you enjoy!

wow this is great! thank you :D

[faze3]

Nice addition. Now if only all visitors would use an ISP in their own country! Still the best stats package and getting better all the time.
Alan.

[webado]

Nice! :)

A little left over at the bottom:

Pages (2): [ [1] 2 ]

Show Page URL not Title

That would be from basing this page on Recent Vistors activity I suppose.

In fact I see where the page number comes in - it ould be nicer to put all on one map - but probably harder to accomplish programmatically.

[neoncarrot]

Brilliant - I'm really impressed. Much easier to visualise your user base on a map than a list of place names. Well done!

[Proteus]

holy cow! I could see my last visitor taking a shower!


Congrats Aodhan! A+++++

[boomologist]

Very nice addition! Thanks!
Could you also include the ISP name? (Like it is shown under "Country/State/City/ISP")

[italyout]

Love it! Thank you!:-D

[trackerm]

Thats great! The info on it is fantastic :)

[westmoors]

Cool! :cool:

[Gareth]

Yes, very good, but there's a chunk of the world missing - including me.

Can we have New Zealand (and assorted Pacific islands) back?

Cheers

The map pans: Put your mouse over the map, hold down left button, move left and NZ appears. :razz:

[ianroberts]

Very pretty! Any chance you could put this much enthusiasm on a feature we've all been asking for for years?

I could really, really, use IP range-filtering in results.

Still.

No, really.

Five pages of others could, too.

Thanks.

So it does. Wonders will never cease.

Now, can we have the map the right way up?

Cheers.

[bushman7]

This is a very cool addition to StatCounter. Is there a way to share this map with visitors without allowing access to all the other stats?

[earthpages]

This is a great feature! Perhaps it's just my connection but page two of my results came up a blank page. I tried it twice. I'm sure the very competent programmer behind this site can fix it fast, if indeed there is an issue. Just thought I'd mention it. :-D

[awacs94]

For some reason I can not get it to work. I load it and there is white space where the map should be. It seems as if it is attempting to load a google ad . I got it to work once by refreshing it but have not had any more success. There is no error message. The map just doesn't load.

[webado]

You must be blocking third party scripts/cookies/images/.

[GTatler]

Great idea, but -----

I have 3 sites using the counter, of which 2 display visitors on the maps correctly, but 1 doesn't, and it's the one I am most interested in !

The centre of the page goes blank and a script error is shown. On viewing the script code the errors are on line 13 char 1 and line 368 char 476.

If admin want to check this out please PM or preferably email me and I will give you the details to log in.

[MinConst]

Excellent addition. It is very cool to see the visitors on the map. Thanks for the addition and service.

[awacs94]

Seems to be working now. Great Feature!

[Lilac flower]

Thank you for this additional enhancement (Google map)..... It's really great !

[jmcweborg]

It is very good

Thank very much

:-D :-D :-D

[moldham@usd497.org]

I cannot find it!!!!!!:confused:

[webado]

Click on any project in My Projects and then look over on the left side of the screen - you have the map option.

[dcgis]

Is there anyway to add the advanced Gmap controls? (zoom in. out, even map/satellite/hybrid)

*sorry*, just found if you click on a "visitor" point there is zoom in/zoom out options.

[westmoors]

Click on one of the pins to get visitor information and zoom options.

[bugmenot]

Great work to begin with, but I wanted to know if you guys could add the zoom, the browse controls and the ability to view satellite images as options on the map. If those few things were added this would be a much better service.

[windigo]

Glad to see our membership dollars at work!

You can zoom in by clicking on the little icons that represent your visitors - you get a little popup callout with zoom in options.

[BGL]

Very impressive

[netzib]

Most of my site readership is NZ based, it would be nice to see them too!

[webado]

Shift the map - click anywhere on it and drag it - it will reveal all the places you don't 'see outright.

[designer007]

wow... thats great....very nice...:)

Thanks for adding this. I used StatCounter on the Google Maps Mania blog (gmapsmania.com) and I was quite excited to read you have added this feature. Could I ask your API developer to possibly give the option to switch to satellite view in the map interface? Currently you have just street map view on and satellite view will help in countries with no street maps. Thanks! :)

Great feature addition! :)

I'll be posting about this on Google Maps Mania! :)

Done!

Very nice addition! Thanks!

Done!

hi, I welcome the new feature add on. But seriously speaking, as a paying customer, we expect such innovation to come from statcounter more frequently. Been long waiting for new add-on, especially the ability to track ecommerce store.

I apologise for the delays in adding other features. We are working tirelessly to constantly improve the service to give you what you demand and deserve. I'll see what we can do about getting this much-in-demand feature out there.

best regards,

We'll be getting to work on adding the IP Address Range Blocking.

I blogged about this new feature <a href="http://donsingleton.blogspot.com/2006/08/where-viewers-are-from.html">here</a>

[webmaster]

Thanks for the blog Singleton!

[jdray]

Great feature, thanks.

One improvement I'd like to see is a user-settable date range. I had a spike in traffic at the end of May, and I'd like to see a map for just that day. For that matter, the map says "recent traffic." What's the default date range?

Cheers.

There is no date range for the detailed stats. What you see in the map is the same as "Recent pageloads" stats, and cover whatever is in the log at the time you see it. The log is allways the most recent 100 pageloads (hits) for the free account or 1000+ whatever you have for a payed account. The time range can be one hour, one or more days, or a week, depending on how many visitors and pageloads you get and what account you have.

Only the summary show historical stats for total visitors and pageloads, from today back to the first day when you started using the counter.

[Carbon]

Great feature,

Would it be possible to add zoom in / out buttons to the map as it can be tricky clicking a specific visitor pointer if they are tightly clustered?

Cheers

Carbon

[kcire]

I actually want to dislike things Google produces (due to certain strange policies they obtain)...But this cannot be 'not-liked'!

Amazing! And I must say that Statcounter again proves to be a worthy solution.
I will tell everybody (interested) about this!

[webado]

Hey, could we get the Google map also when drilling down on one particular visitor from any of the listings by IP address? Right now we just get the world map with a little red dot ... suddenly it's not enough ;)


(* see, you give an inch we want a mile ;) *)

I find stat counter very useful!

Click on one visitor and a pop up appears with zoom controls.

[Carbon]

Hi Kelly,

I'm aware that you can zoom once you have clicked the visitor's pointer, the trouble is when you have a large number of pointers in a small cluster it is hard to click on a specific one...

...unless you can zoom in first ;)

Carbon

[webmaster]

Is it possible to click on any marker in the cluster and zoom in with that control?

[westmoors]

Hi Kelly,

I'm aware that you can zoom once you have clicked the visitor's pointer, the trouble is when you have a large number of pointers in a small cluster it is hard to click on a specific one...

Carbon

I just click on one pointer in the cluster, zoom in until the pointers differentiate, and then click on the one I'm interested in! Simple really :-D

Unfortunately Google Maps only works on the latest browsers so want to keep the old StatCounter features working for everyone.

[-Ash-]

This is a nice edition. I like it :)

[faze3]

For all the people basing their marketing strategy on the map positions - don't forget . . .
THE MAP SHOWS THE ISP NOT THE CUSTOMER AND THE TWO MAY BE 1,000's OF MILES APART!!!
Alan.

[webado]

Well for a very sparsely populated area this may be the case, but in general the datacenter is sufficiently close geographically - but yes, 100 or 200 miles may be reasonable. For a big city it may be actually really close, within the metropolitan area.

[forum]

Thanx for tsending the email - it is a helpful feature

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I thought you could have an ISP anywhere in the world.
Alan.

[Arne]

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I thought you could have an ISP anywhere in the world.
I'll guess you can, but normaly the ISP must have a datacenter fairly close to you. Talking AOL however, I have understand that they have several datacenters all around US, and a AOL user in US can be connected to any of them insted of the closest one?

My ISP is located i Stockholm, about 1000 miles (100 km) from where I live, but I am allways connected to their datacenter here in Luleå, only 10 miles from where I live. Now I know even the street address where the datacenter is! :-D

[sblantipodi]

great. I love stat counter.

[jesus2099]

Great feature but I don't understand why visitors are not all on one page.
It's strange to have pages for a map moreover :

Pages (2): [ [1] 2 ]

[webado]

You can use http://clustrmaps.com/ for that.

[Liniar]

I nkow it's going to be good but where can I find it? It doesn't show in my Control Panel in the StatCounter counter manager part

[webado]

What can't you find? The map?

It's for a given project. Left side menu selection.

[Liniar]

What can't you find? The map?

It's for a given project. Left side menu selection. I did go there and it's not there. Screenshot please?

[webado]

Better than a screenshot, a link: http://my7.statcounter.com/project/standard/visitor_map.php?project_id=453441

[Liniar]

OH! Now I know why I don't have access. It says I don't have permission. But why? Or is it just for upgradfed versions?

[webado]

No. I made my stats public for that account, unless I forgot to do it. But I didn't forget.

[Liniar]

So we make our stats public.

[webado]

No, only so that you can see which one it is since you seem not to be able to find the stats.

[Liniar]

So what do I have to do?

[webado]

Come on, aren't you looking at the stats for your own project yet? You have to be logged into yrou account of course.

Look over the left site under Statistics and click the one for the Recent Visitors Map.

[Liniar]

Oh now I have it

[Iconman]

I find this an interesting concept for some judging by their responses. I hope you have continued success with StatCounter. I rely on your service daily and appreciate what you have accomplished.

[bandito]

I really dig this feature.

For less frequently visited pages like mine it's
most helpful to trace visitors and great fun!

[webado]

When zooming in, I just learned that Rural Ohio is Located in downtown Washington DC.

hmmmm
It's the ISP's datacenter's location always, regardless of where users of that ISP using that IP address are located - that cannot be found.

[rsvpshindig]

Is this something that I need my web designer to do? :oops:

[pik0]

I wish I could adjust, however, how many of my recent visitors appear on a map, at a time. It appears to only show about 10 or 20 on the map. I'd be more interested to see the last 100 on the map at a time.

Is there a tunable parameter that I don't know about?

Piko

[pik0]

Is this something that I need my web designer to do? :oops:

Have you set up your stat counter account already? You just need to add their code to each of your web pages, and all the activity will be tracked (including on the map).

Piko

[webado]

The zoom is there.

[crownrahul]

hi this is great utility.. thanks

[webado]

Very sad , We can not see chinese.
What do you mean?

If you want to see China on the map you have to move it - use the mouse and drag.

[jackielynnss]

So very, very cool! Thanks!

[Teresa7307]

I have nine pages but they are all blank. What could that mean?

[webado]

You're blocking something or you didn't wait long enough for the map to load.

What browser and firewall are you using?

Care to make your stats public for that project and give a link? you change that back to private after a while.

[Teresa7307]

The browser is Netscape

Here's my link if you want to take a look

http://my7.statcounter.com/project/standard/visitor_map.php?project_id=718473

[webado]

Did you make it public? Otherwise I cannot get in to see anyhting.

\Public Stats Disabled
Public stats are disabled for this project. You do not have permission to view them as a guest user.

[thlayli]

I've used several other visitor mapping applications and none of them have resorted to using pages. I understand that if there are thousands of markers it can slow down the map greatly, but GeoMap (http://www.zipwise.com/geomap/) from ZipWise puts 100 markers on a single map and it works just fine.

Can the paging feature be disabled? I'd really like to just use StatCounter but I want to see all 100 visitors on one map. Thanks.

[webado]

Well thsi was just very recently implemented as an add-on to Recent Visitors - so it uses the same paging structure as that.

Hoepfully it can be adapted, but it may take a bit of time.

[thlayli]

Cool, no rush of course. While poking around I noticed this message on the Recent Visitors page: "Does this page load slowly? Reduce the number of results per page by clicking "My Profile" in the top navigation bar."

I tried changing that number but it still seems to display only 10 results per page. Is this a limit of the free accounts, or a limit coded into the page?

Anyway, thanks for helping to introduce the new feature. It's great even with these limitations. I'm sure it'll improve with age.

[Cyrus255]

I just want to say, THANK YOU for this feature!

I love it! It was the only thing making me check google analytics. Now I have no reason to use it anymore!

Statcounter rules! :)

[anybiz]

What a fun feature!:razz:

[markov]

Nice additional feature ! Thanx for the information .

[Indichosts.net]

Very nice layout. Great feature.

[Julio-Barcelona-UE]

I edit because I have realised now that the list has not been removed ("Recent Visitor Activity") and that the map has been added. In my first message I was thinking that the map was in the place of the list. The list is very useful because you can see at a glance many details about your visitors.

I went too fast and I was mistaken!

I wish to thank the Webmaster for all his efforts to keep Statcounter remaining the best or one of the best services!

Regards

[titoni]

Greate feature!
I never know this feature until I see this thread :)

[webado]

It's been in the stats for many months!
