Tonight, I noticed that on my WordPress site, my RevolverMaps map was not visible. This was whilst using Chrome. I tried Safari, and it was visible.
I tried the RevolverMaps website and got the message below….
A little bit of searching on the web as to what the problem might be revealed that RevolverMaps shut down in November 2024. Clearly, I had not been paying enough attention to my WordPress site.
For about 16 years, RevolverMaps provided a service to thousands and thousands of websites around the world with a widget that could be placed on your website that tracked visitors to your site and showed a map and/or a revolving globe. And this was not just for amateur radio operators. Their widget appeared on thousands of other sites.
Below is the RevolverMaps map on my WordPress site.
The rotating globe on RevolverMaps was always interesting to watch live when working a pileup.
The reason why RevolverMaps shut down is not known. From reading various threads on the web, it just shut down without any alleged warning.
The other excellent site, called Flag Counter, is still working. Flag Counter’s free counter can be added to your website or blog and collects flags from around the world. Each time someone from a new country visits your website, a flag is added to your counter. Below are my flag counters from my QRZ.com page.
There are some other options as a replacement for RevolverMaps. They include:
Map My Visitors.
Here Interactive Map Tools.
