Friend map

you need to zoom in to see in more detail

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. With the friends map, you'll enjoy the following unique features:

Find your friends
Draggable maps
Satellite imagery
Zoom & PAN


The friends map uses the same satellite data as Google Maps and Google Earth. Google Earth acquires the best imagery available, most of which is approximately one to three years old. Data is updated regularly.

To see your friends on a map, go to this page

You can click on a friend’s profile picture to see their location on the map. Please know that if there is no 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.
