NW IMAC Events Map GPS Coordinates

I've put this map together of the fields I've been to or could find the coordinates of.. If you have gps coordinates of another, and the sponsoring club's website I'll add to this list. I believe that if you use an android phone you can sync this "map" to your "maps" and access all the locations within your phone for navigation (that's how I'm doing it - except that this map is already one of "my maps")

some of them have gps coordinates to the entry roads that are closest to the field. This helps prevent your GPS from getting you lost. I've found this to be the best way to navigate by gps to a location rather than to use the GPS coordinates of the actual runway.

NEW LINK 2013: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...db27d753&msa=0

if you have info on fields I've missed, let me know - thanks.

John

Here is the location of Weavers field. Might be useful since there is an event there this year.

46.78198,-119.2384

Thanks for this - it really helps the new guys to find the location of events.

I'm making an updated 2013 map, if you want to add to it - email me a location created with google maps and I can add it to the collection. PM me for an email address.

here it is - in progress... (as of right now)

when you click on one of the sites, then hit "Directions" in the pop-up and you'll see map coordinates if you prefer to use those with your GPS

That is great John. Thank you very much! Like Clark said, Weaver Field would be good to see.

Hi, Mike, I have weaver field on there now - it should show up on the latter link. After Im done re-organizing, I'll delete the original link to avoid confusion - but the good link is on post 6 of this thread right now. I'm adding to it slowly.

FYI..for those of us with Android phones, and most likely available on Iphones, the IMAC Pro app has integrated all the contests into Google maps (android version) and has a "Get Directions" button.

They have the PNW/Canada contests on there

Just checked to see how accurate the Weaver field directions are via the IMAC Pro app, and it takes one right there, including driving directions from your current location.

Pretty handy to have.

Only bummer on that app, is I don't know how to extract the GPS coordinates, otherwise it's really cool.

John, thanks for taking the time to create your google map too.
I have bookmarked it so I can search nearby accomodations for the contests
