@sdg1 is working on this in Map Scratch. Please don't ask me any questions about it, though. I really don't know much about it.

Actually, I agree with mathfreak, that younger Scratchers might use it unknowingly to reveal private information.

And it was a feature, I think “Map Scratch” used to exist, but it was shutdown. I doubt it's coming back.

No Support.

^^ maybe, and it could also display a warning when you try to use the block.

However, this is a feature of map Scratch, and I don't think Scratch needs it. If you need it for a specific project, you could just use images as a scrolling background, to make the map.

But when I go to the Map Scratch page, there are no download links and just a video.

No Support.

Then only Scratchers who are, say, 10 years or older could access the feature.

I think this was actually a planned feature near the beginning of Scratch 2.0 (search “map block” or the like).

No support. It could be used to give out personal info way too easily.

This would be good except scratch is for all ages and ST don't want to split up scratch. But as math freak said this could endanger kids.
