    Spotting maps on Google Maps

    So I was BSing around on Google Maps today looking at airports and I noticed that a number of airports have user created maps of spotting locations. I checked a few airports and found some, the closest to us was BDL. Anyway found it interesting and sort of helpful for spotting.

    I've made a couple for the new site, based on the old maps we have. I will be adding more stuff, like public transport info. I'd like to hear what y'alls think.

    Even though I have a map on my site for PHL, I had to get into the Google act.
    I think I'll build upon that.

    The new site will be similar to our existing page, utilizing Google Maps technology for the map itself, as you see there, with our stylish new look. :)

    Matt, as always, did an amazing job with that. :)

    Outstanding work with those, Matt. When you go to the satellite view, you can actually see a couple of cops questioning a spotter :D
