Dropzone Locater Map

Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if anyone thinks a simple map with DZ locations marked geographically would be of interest for this site? If you were traveling to another state like California for example, and wanted to know what DZ's were in the north, without having to go down through the text listings. What are your thoughts?

Probably, at some point.

The problem is finding a reliable and reasonably-priced source for the data required (geocoding / mapping / routing), which also works with the mapping provider the locator currently uses.

Honestly, finding what we need is hit and miss outside North America. There's some coverage in Europe, and South America data is starting to be decent, but other countries are currently out of luck, until a major data vendor (e.g. Navteq or TeleAtlas) decides to cover them.

More info than you probably wanted :P
