Hey Mods can we make this a sticky?
Paul, how about showing contests by state. Like 2008 Missouri contests all on one Missouri map. I guess you could just show all contests on one map and then a person could zoom in to the state they wanted to see.
Also, how about moving all of your text below the map. Makes for better usability once the map redraws. The user doesn't have to scroll as much.
Maybe you could tell me a little more how you would use such a view. What good would it do to see all of the contests in MO in a year unless they were also broken down by date? Or do you just want to see a graphical plotting of the dispersion of contests?
We need to be on the KCBS Technology Committee. :wink:

2. When (or if) you get to the point of personalization, is it possible to include distance and driving time from a team's home address?
I have added an interactive straight line distance calculator to the map. You can double click to add start and end points to get the straight line distance between the two points. You can also drag and drop the points once created to calculate new distances easily.
Straight line distance will be less than actual driving distance but this should give you a fair estimation of the travel involved.
Mileage and instructions are now located on the right side of the map.
Looks great. Next up... Awards Map Widget! :wink:
Someone should be talking to KCBS about resolving their TOY tracking issues.
A few weeks ago Todd (Plowboy) suggested I create an interactive mapping application that visually depicts contest locations. A version of such an application is now available for anyone's use.

The pushpins have info and links tied to them (i.e., results for prior contests). And you can use the legend to narrow the view to weekly.
