Hi Guys - Thanks for compliments and it makes me real happy to see folks using it.

Karl - I opened the club website and used the map to zoom in on Google Earth to find the club and I have a plane on the field already, and I double checked my Excel file and it happens to be in there as well. Not sure what to tell you about it not being on your download. I checked the date I entered it and it defaults back to 2004. Thanks for checking and offering to help though.

As far as the AMA is concerned - No, I haven't asked for any of their data. Actually I talked and e-mailed back and forth a couple of times last year (or two) and offered to volunteer to help out with the coordinates. You really need to be familiar with all of the different coordinate formats and projections in order to use them usefully and to be able to verify what you get is actually the Club Location. Long story short, I was turned down and told me they might get ahold of me in the future but that they were handling it internally so far. When I asked about why the coordinates weren't posted they said they were discussing it because some clubs don't want their 'where abouts' known I guess (ONLY A VERY FEW). I think that's kind of a lame excuse since anybody can do what I do and find them by searching websites and using programs such as Google Earth. OK, Off the Soap Box, sorry........... I guess the closest I've gotten has been to be able to piggy back my data onto the back of Bill Lee's Dist VIII Club Locator.

Roger - Glad to hear your spreading the word I hadn't thought about color coding the different clubs in the way that you have. I might have to go back and think about that. I use it when traveling as well for both business and vacation. It's really fun to show up at some field locations out in the middle of no where and have the guys ask you "How the heck did you ever find us" I always explain and have yet to be kicked out Thanks for understanding my addiction to RC guys.
