Hi Bruce,
Except for loops outside the U.S. (Canada, UK, New Zealand), I chose not
to map loops that did not have a city listed. Also, I chose not to map
loops that only list a region, such as "East, USA" or "Southeast, SD,
USA". I respect that some folks don't want to list the specific city
where they reside, and I don't have a problem with that. But, that also
means I really can't place a meaningful marker.
For our one New Zealand entry, I chose "Christchurch" as the city.
For our one UK entry, I chose London as the city.
For on of our Canada entries in Ontario, I chose Toronto as the city.
I did so just to give a little more international flavor to the list. I
DID NOT update the loop list itself with those cities...I only popped in
Long and Lat values for them.
So, cross referencing the loop list, I see that you have yours listed in
NC, but no city listed.
I took this approach simply because it is already time consuming to
locate the Latitude and Longitude values without having to create new
locations. If you send you city information to Paul, he will get he list
updated.
None of this is real-time and I do make mistakes (just ask my wife), so
bare with us as we try to get things in order.

Hi Greg - what a great idea - love it. Are all the loops accounted for on the map? I let it load for awhile but did not see my Ambo in N.C. although it is on the list.

We extracted latitude and longitude values from city, state/province, and country as listed on the loop list. When doing so, I found that some states have more than one town with the same name, so I just picked one and used it. So, you should see your loop shown pretty close to where it actually is. Send any corrections to Paul Linn. The map is built using the Google Maps API and is on the bleeding edge of technology. It can be slow when rendering hundreds of loop markers - so be patient!
