Re: Google Maps Tower Locations 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.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations 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.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations 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."'Current Sprint Service Can Not Be Used' What the hell does that mean?!?"

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations 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.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations Excellent! Isn't that Alltel territory?
Btw, all new towers posted on the map will appear in page 2 (and eventually page 3), unless exported to a KML for use in Google Earth.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations I encourage everyone on this forum to add to this map. It's about time we have some sort of group effort at this. I think this could really turn out to be something nice.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations My pleasure, this forum needed a little something, its been dead around here. I am actually quite excited about this. I should probably add my known towers in Buffalo from my 4 years there, and now my Lanisng, MI towers.
(quick questions to mods: Is this forum open only to people who are in the tower hunting club, or is it available to everyone?)

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations Give my map a few hours to figure itself out. It's not even displaying the edit options, so its just not loading correctly.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations There really is no way to back up the maps. The only thing you can do it download a KML file to be used in google earth, which just links to googles copy anyway.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations That's the main reason I hadn't spent any more time using Google Maps to map all the sites.
If they make it do a true export, then I would definitely invest the time. Creating the maps in Google Earth is an option, but makes collaboration difficult. I also found out that you can use Google Earth to open the Map kml and copy each individual site, but not the whole map. Either way, there's too much tedious work to not have a reliable backup system. Worrying about Google losing the data is not too bad, but one evildoer, or big accident and everything is gone.

Re: Google Maps Tower Locations Just a question on tower info, how did you find out who is who? Here in Joplin, MO 64840, it is top secret. I have looked up all towers and nothing to be said about Sprint or Nextel
. I even drove to the tower locations with my aircard and did not notice any stronger signals or I should say a anything under 70 at anyone tower. As for calling local and Sprint
, no help from them
Thanks
