My HTML is pretty rusty but I believe it should be

 <a href="link">Link text</a>

I have been thinking about the idea of having places to eat around regionals. It might be a good to make a new layer(different map) that way it wouldn't over populate the real map. Might also want to put the hotel thing in there(the food layer) as well.

That's a great idea... The map is already getting pretty crowded in some areas, no need to make too much more crowded.
My only question is how would we go about doing that?

I have a website that targets new schools and new students and I promote FIRST by using lots of videos. I have some competition videos, but I try to focus on promo-videos and why more schools should get involved in FIRST.

I put a Google map on my site so that if students were looking for a team to work with (if there school doesn't have a team) they could find who is in their area and where they might be able to get involved. Teams can add markers and so can individuals looking for a team.

Check out my site: www.firstobjective.org - the map is under the "Home" drop down menu. You do need to join (it's free, no spam or advertising) in order to place a marker.

Also, users can add their own videos, join specific groups and participate in our forums.

Awesome! I was wondering wondering when someone would do this. I've liked this, but alas it's not made for FRC teams, and focused on Ubuntu Linux users. http://www.flippinsweetdude.com/maps/index.php But, i alway's thought the idea was good. Thanks.

I like the flippin sweet dudes idea that you create accounts with your logitude and latitude. You should implement that.

This map would also be better if it were officially adopted by FIRST and put into the TIMS. I think you should send an email to frcteams [at] usfirst [dot] org, and try to get this official.

This was such a good Idea, we did it over a year ago. Check out http://team1649.com/witwif

Where In The World Is FIRST? (WITWIF?) is an interactive map with every FRC, FTC Team and Event in the world. It also has FLL Events. FLL teams are not available from FIRST but could be added.

I started one of these as well, and Team 385 maintains a fantastic one.
