You don't have a problem, it was the database. When someone enters or updates the information for a team, it is submitted to an updates database. This will then be added/updated to the main map database. This is so that teams with no lat/lon or 0,0 do not end up on the map. I needed to write the admin interface to transfer the new points over to the map database, but was very busy last week (so much school work!).

Now I have finished the transfer page and entered all of the teams with a accurate lat/lon. Check to see if your team is on the map. If not, load the record and add more than one decimal place to the lat/lon points. The view of the map now also centers on the entire US at the start (yes I know there are international teams, but this facilitates easier viewing at first for a majority of users).

YAY!! very cool and congrats this will make finding teams allot easier. You know i seem to remember a thread on a contact database. This would be a perfect tool to pair the two. Oh is their an easy way to find the cordinates of my team?

Use any site I posted above. These are also now listed on: http://www.alpinerobotics.com/resour...ection=editmap

Oh one more thing. When you click on a team and it provides a website, none of those websites open correctly. Agian it might be my browser but the url becomes for example http://www.alpinerobotics.com/www.lahsrobotics.org instead of www.lahsrobotics.org

Yes, I have noticed this too, but haven't fixed it yet. It seems to think these are relative URL's, but the ones with the http:// prefix work properly (try 159 for example).

Edit: This has now been fixed (at least for most cases).

See my sig. :D There is "someone" who has contacted me about working together on the contact database, so we may actually add integration to this at some point. No promises though. :)

Awesome program, I'm glad to see that you have so many teams up and running!

Hmm.. Team 155 appears to be in the wrong spot. Don't know who entered the info for that one.. But that's definitely not Berlin, CT.

Team 221 is in the wrong place; also, it doesn't exist anymore. It should be Team 857 in Houghton, MI.

added 639.

Oops... I just added the updating to the code, and it looks like anyone who updated their record (as opposed to creating a new one) was blanked out. This means I need information of 116, 204 and 1167 again.
