Isn't one of those who made this interactive map an Admin here?
Yeah, it was me. I wrote the code for the interactive maps on the old hookers.nl site (hookers.nl provided the images), integrating them with the reviews in the database. Was a fun project. Sadly, they weren't able to preserve this feature with the site migration (to vBulletin 5) a while back. It's been discussed here (and on hookers.nl) before.

Wonder why we don't have such a thing on this site.
I need map images I can use (i.e. something that's not copyrighted by someone else.) I'm not skilled at image creation/editing. If some forum member wants to contribute maps for De Wallen, Singelgebied, De Pijp, Alkmaar, Den Haag etc, then I might take a crack at it. Code is my thing but I don't have the time/skills to create the images too.

Besides. Anyone knows why they shut down "The Device"?
The previous site operator was unable to get it working after some site migration or other... I forget now. By the time I took over the tech side of things it was so out of date (years) that it wouldn't have been that useful even if I got it working again. I'd always intended to replace it with something better (a reviews database integrated with interactive maps and the posts in "The Girls") but then just never found the time to get started.
