Re: Where In The World Is FIRST?

Wow! I love the power of CD! We processed about two dozen change requests today.

I'm going to try to answer all the questions:

The data was cut and pasted from http://www.usfirst.org/whatsgoingon

The map uses the Google Maps API V3 and Fusion Tables to store the data.
We are also using jQuery to get the data for the search.

The entire page was built by hand using gedit in Ubuntu.
It was originally meant for FRC and we added the FTC data as an afterthought.

Based on some of the comments above I'm not sure we will be able to add FLL data.

Since the only address we had was a city and state, the google map puts the point in the middle of that city.

There are some known issues with older browsers. Sorry.
There is also a problem using the default browser in Android Honeycomb.

If you have any problems viewing the map please let us know what OS and browser you are using.

We have tried to keep this mobile friendly but that is a tall order. There are even more mobile browsers out there then desktop ones so please bear with us and we will try to make things work.

I doubt we will ever be as famous as CD or TBA but we are still hopeful that other teams will find this useful.

Comments, suggestions and bug reports are all welcome.
