Michael Hickman Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hi All 118 (>50% of all locations) now have a Plane icon (indicates a web link, if available). NB I have noticed that it displays the points over two pages, split in alpha order, therefore if you are looking for a retailer above S it maybe on the second page. I am thinking of splitting the sites by location, so that each one would be complete on a single page. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Laughton Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Mike - thanks for the hard work in developing this and continuing to do so! I travel around quite a bit so it will come in handy for a snatched half hour when in the UK - most of my travelling is overseas....you couldn't do a world one could you (joke)?

Allan Bowker Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Great work Mike, thanks for spending time on it, I use it when I'm travelling around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hickman Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi All Thank you for your comments. All 220 now have links, if known to me. The new map can be located here. Next week, when back at work, I will place an auto redirect on the old page to the new. A bit more on the second page, I think only 200 points can be displayed on one page. So I may have to split in a logical way, or some people may not notice some points that maybe of interest on the second page. I was thinking of England / Other, if only because the size would work. Thoughts/suggestions/additions/corrections appreciated. happy landings Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyeruk Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Could i add Stan Yeos shop in Newton Abbot? Phoenix Model Products 3 Salisbury House Salisbury Road Newton Abbot Devon TQ12 2DF Great shop and very knowledgeable and helpful owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hickman Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi flyeruk Thank you for your post, Phoenix are already on the map, but there are two shops near Newton Abbot, and Pheonix are partly obscured by BEKRA R/C. There are other icons I can use but I thought the plane was appropriate, and is only available in blue as standard in Google Maps. Trying a shopping bag, what do you think?

Michael Hickman Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi Jon In theory it is perfectly OK, the map seems to display all icons but the list is split into pages of 200, in order of when added. I am happy to add international points, but any to be added would need to locatable on Google Maps. KML files can be imported, if anyone has any links already in this format. It is possible to allow additional contributors to add/correct a map if they have a Google Apps account (must have access to Google Maps). best wishes Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rentman Added an entry, it is out of order on the second page, used a URL I found on Google as they do not appear to have their own site.
