Eric Aitala Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 HI, I was messing around with the Chapter data today and set up a map of all the current Chapters, see: http://batchgeo.com/map/7e8d7d6f4c527031456336c2c76f3d1f I will attempt to update it every once in a while or until I can set it up on our servers...

JohnRatzenberger Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 That's neat, thank you -- it would be great enhancement to our Chapter/Region page. Is there a limit to colors?; I'm having trouble with the regional breakdowns, and the notation/menu line along the bottom. Needs a data scrub; I think at least one (Coastal Carolina in Charleston area) missing in R12. There's an outlier in Amarillo TX for the DLC, but he lives in WA ? Can we get this without the ads ?

TimDarrah Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I also noticed that our chapter, IPMS/Gamecocks is showing below Columbia, SC and were 40+ miles to the East in Sumter, which is on the map. I'm sure that it's limitations to the web site, not any fault of our great webmaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteJ Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Eric- You missed our club completely. There are two IPMS chapters in San Diego. IPMS/San Diego and IPMS/San Diego Model Car Club. We are both proud of our independent status and differance in interest. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Eric - I noticed that only IPMS San Diego is listed. We also have San Diego Model Car Club/IPMS. They meet on 3rd Tuesday of each month at The San Diego Automobile Museum in Balboa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Aitala Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 HI, I set this up from the current data which is somewhat limited when it comes to locations as the street address of the Chapter meetings are lumped in with the meeting dates... so I'm placing the chapter via the City & State data. Also a few Chapters did not process correctly... I may be able to edit the existing map or make a new one, but it may take a little time. As for the San Diego Clubs, both are listed on the same 'pin' - look for the '1 - 2 > ' at the bottom right of the popup to toggle between the two.. Same thing for the two clubs in Memphis, TN.

KitR Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi Eric, Great work! Our Chapter, Northmen Scale Modelers, are not on your map. Here's a link to our website. Northmen Scale Modelers Thanks, Kit Redmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Aitala Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi, I will probably be building a similar map on the IPMS web server at some point using the actual Chapter info that is current and maintained by the DLC. The demo map I built was only for 'fun' and is not easy to maintain. Eric Hi Eric, Great work! Our Chapter, Northmen Scale Modelers, are not on your map. Here's a link to our website.
