FIRST Team Map

Well, I was curious, and wanted to see what it would be like to plot the locations of FIRST teams on a map; so, this is the result:



Clicking on the image will take you to a much larger version (it's 1.7 MB and 2048x1024 pixels-- or in other words, not at all friendly for dial-up)

For those interested in some of the technical details:

The data for the map was taken from TIMS via the database available at http://www.team358.org/files/team_lookup/public/ and the image is hosted by the openFIRST project; the background image is in the public domain and can be found at numerous places on the Internet. Some of the teams didn't have enough information to lookup their geographical coordinates, so they haven't been shown.
