Wow, that's cool I didn't know you could make your own maps with Google.
Guess I need to start playing around with it and figure out how to make one as well.

Thats pretty cool yankees, i too didnt know that was possible.

It would be pretty sweet if we could have something like this for the cell site gallery, add the towers to the map as you add them to the gallery.

Yankees368 · 05-04-2007, 11:58 PM

Yeah, the only problem is that I don't always know exactly where the tower is that I took the picture of. In this case, I know where each site is by memory, but for most I really do not know.

But yeah, anyone can create a map now. I wish you could make custom icons.

Maybe 1 day they will be customizable to either add a picture or a link to a photo & you would be able to make different markers.

Well the closest you can get to that right now is the ability to embeed a picture within the marker. Already did that for most of them though.

That is cool. I have all my local cell sites on a map saved on my computer. Maybe I will transfer it to something like google maps sometime when I get a chance as this may be a great resource for others.
