View Your Friends on a Map in orkut

It's old and many people know about this feature...But recently Orkut removed the button which took us to the Orkut Map page.

"The friends map on orkut.com is a feature offering powerful, user-friendly mapping technology to see where all of your friends are located around the world. By clicking on any of your friends' pictures on the right-hand side of the map, you'll be taken to their locations on the map."

To see your friends on a map, go to this page (you need to have an orkut account). This Google Maps mashup uses the location information you put in your orkut profile.

You can now click on a friend’s profile picture to see their location on the map shown. Please know that if we don’t have map data for a particular region or if your friend chose not to put their location in their orkut profile, you’ll see a message “(not on map)” below their profile name.

Please know that if we don’t have map data for a particular region or if your friend chose not to put their location in their orkut profile, you’ll see a message “(not on map)” below their profile name. You can also click on the “tiny little blue men” to see your friends’ locations. By clicking on one of these figures, a bubble will pop open to let you know which friend lives in that location.
