Google maps & earth are indeed great (although not as detailed as Microsoft's http://local.live.com for the UK), which is why we're making use of it for the upcoming Regional Ladder League Teams Map - linked from the http://www.regionalultimate.co.uk/ website.
The team registration form is in testing stages so should be online very soon - by entering the address of where you practice, your team will automatically be added to the map with a colour to indicate whether you are Club/Uni/Womens/Junior, visible to anyone who browses the site! Thanks to Steve G & Mike Tonge for their amazing & relentless work on this feature. Felix On 07/09/06, Rich 'Dean' Shelmerdine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I don't know about anyone else but I personally think Google Earth is the greatest thing on this 'ere interweb. Combining it with Ultimate, I got to thinking that it could be a great aid with navigation to tournaments or checking out the location before arrival. Tournament organisers could upload a particular placemark (the pitches, the campsite, the closest supermarket etc) and send it out with information packs. I'm sure there's more. I recently found the Google Earth Communities forum and have made a start (not sleeping well at the moment!). Perhaps others will see the 'way' and continue (what some consider) my greatest work. Go here (but excuse the somewhat amateur-ness of the wording - I hoped to be able to change it at a later date but it seems I can't!): http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/564425/an//page/0/vc/1 Dean.
