This forum is really nice. I've been impressed in my short time as member and recent Yamaha Jet Boat ownership.

I wanted to offer a suggestion for a feature

Allow users to advertise tools they may have available for others to borrow and then allow a map display of those with such tools available (YDS is the one tool motivating my thought, but no reason to limit it to the one tool. If there is an easy way to do it for just the one tool, even that would be awesome, for example if the user picks, Has YDS for loan in their profile, the anchor in the user map turns orange, for example, if such a thing was available...)

Thanks again for the forum and all you do.
 
We have scupper wrenches that are shipped from owner to owner....but that is it for now. YDS and SW require a compatible and configured laptop...so not as easy....but not impossible. Would be an interesting idea if we could change the colors on the map for things like that..... @Bruce do you recall if that was an option at all?

The map software has almost no options. With priority mail available proximity is not a big issue. Perhaps we could start a collection for a couple of units.
