Made some progress (with help, and in so doing identified a new programming challenge for the team and a possible new mentor, but that's another story). I have all FRC teams from the OPR sheet on a Google Earth globe.
Only 16 failed to geocode correctly (they're all at lat/long 0 / 0). I attached a North America picture (low team density in other countries requires too much zoom to make a useful picture).
The pins for each team can pop up with whatever information we want to embed, such as "nearest airport" or "distance to Houston". There are a thousand possibilities.
Going to do some more work to elaborate on this and then of course will publish it, even outside this thread and the CMP topic it might be a very interesting thing to see. But probably not going to do more about it until after CMP.
Good luck to everyone attending, looking forward to seeing you there.
