Following Ian’s and Jon’s examples, we created a customer map for our logging tool SmartInspect. The images below show the cities and areas where our customers are located. I think it’s great to have SmartInspect users from so many different places around the world!
The obligatory world map
Europe (our strongest market)
US East Coast
Some happy SmartInspect users from down under
Iceland (Jon, do we have the same customer there? 
)
SmartInspect, palms and cocktails!
Not all customers are listed here, because the script we used seems to have problems with certain addresses (especially UK, but we added some customers manually). Thanks for the idea Ian, and we are thinking about integrating it on our company website as well.

Cool!
I actually have more than one customer in Iceland - but they all had to be trimmed down to just “Reykjavik, Iceland” or they wouldn’t show up, so they appear in the same spot - the same spot as yours
It’s weird that you have more customers in Europe than in the US - I would have expected the opposite. Have you thought about reviewing whether there are any Euro-isms in your site?
And, what did you do to get UK addresses to show up?
I agree that it’s quite unusual that most of our customers come from Europe. We had some very positive reviews in two European software development magazines, so this might have something to do with this. But it’s a good idea to get a third-party site review, and we definitely plan to do this in the future.
We didn’t actually fix the UK address problem, but added some of our UK customers per hand. We got more customers in the UK, but we gave up finding out the latitude/longitude positions after some addresses.
