Which actually doesn't work all that well. That data is significantly harder to place on a map than an address. The far simpler approach is merely to indicate that there are multiple teams sharing that team. An approach Google Maps does not allow me to use easily. I've created a map using leaflet.js, OpenStreetMap and D3. Data was geocoded via the datasciencetoolkit api using R. It was then exported as a CSV.

I'm posting this with the caveat that non continental US data is flat out wrong. It's probably useful for this discussion for most of you, I apologize to folks who it got wrong. I'm in the process of re geocoding the data in the next few days (I may have stuff I need to take care of tonight so I might not get to it) using Texas A&M's Geo Services. If that continues to be problematic I'll just find the teams that are being problems and do them manually (I'm not looking forward to this).


EDIT AGAIN: Thanks to Nate Laverdue who found my missing Canadians... and a few other teams. Any teams with St (as in Saint) in their location are located in Germany. Don't ask me why.

Edit: And just so we're clear, Mark's work is awesome. Thank you to him and Team 358 for all their archival work. I'd have a much harder time doing stuff like this without their data resources.
