Although Alan's map is really nice, my personal thought is the layout that Tim has set up looks great and perfectly usable. I wouldn't recommend that Tim [or whomever else is doing web chores these days] be expected to take on the additional task of creating a map and keeping it updated between now and OhQP 2011. Using Alan's method, It does require manual intervention by at least one person to update the map each time, and then somebody has to upload the KML file to the website. Perhaps someone might want to think about the map idea for next year... but for this year I think things are great just the way they are.<br>
<br>For those who want a map or want to map their mobile routes, they could install the software Alan mentioned and do it themselves if they really wanted a map.<br><br>Just my 2 cents, FWIW.<br><br>Mike / AA8IA<br><br><br>

Thanks!<br>

Perhaps we could have a link to your very nice work on the OHQP web page?, Or embed the map into a page of <a href="http://ohqp.org" target="_blank">ohqp.org</a><br>

And by manipulating the data a bit on the CH needs web page (<br>
<<a href="http://www.cquest.com/cgi-bin/flynn/needs.pl" target="_blank">http://www.cquest.com/cgi-<u></u>bin/flynn/needs.pl</a>> ) you can create a map<br>
showing which counties are most needed by the county hunters.<br>

It's actually fairly easy to do using CQ/X de NO5W which is free to<br>
download from <<a href="http://www.no5w.com" target="_blank">http://www.no5w.com</a>>.<br>
<br>
Here's an example from the 2010 TQP <<a href="http://tinyurl.com/3c7zf86" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/3c7zf86</a>>.<br>
Clicking on a county shows the stations planned to be active. You<br>
may have to zoom in slightly for that to work.<br>
<br>
Since that map was created Chuck has made some changes so the colors<br>
indicate the number of stations active in a county.<br>
<br>
K0PC did some enhancements to Chuck's work for the MNQP. It's now<br>
offline but a screenshot is at <<a href="http://tinyurl.com/3pjtum5" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/3pjtum5</a>>.<br>

Theoretically it shouldn't be that hard to do using something like<br>
google maps and embedding the map into the web page.<br>

How difficult would it be to implement an interactive map such as<br>
is on INQP (<a href="http://www.hdxcc.org/inqp/activity.php" target="_blank">http://www.hdxcc.org/inqp/<u></u>activity.php</a>), or, not quite<br>
so good, the MiQP (<a href="http://www.miqp.org" target="_blank">http://www.miqp.org</a>)?<br>
<br>
Also, a place to list tentative route for mobiles on the web page,<br>
so we don't have to sift through this reflector for such info?<br>
<br>
Neither is a big deal - just shows the "state of the art".<br>
