Location plotting

Post by War_Ghoul »

There was some talk about plotting our locations to better see who's closer to what Lan Party location, so.... I was playing with the Google Maps API and have a simple test page up. The locations are not 100% exact but within about a block (the Geocoder I used was not 100% accurate).

Just have to get the lat and long from http://geocoder.us/ and I can add it in, unfortunatly google does not supply the look up. Geocoder has an API as well, but I havn't messed with it yet...
