Gateway Audio Society ("GAS") Member Map

Bob in St. Louis · « **on:** 2 Dec 2011, 03:59 pm »

Hey fellow Gassers!

It was brought to my attention that the Carolina audio guys have a member map that shows the approximate location of their members. Seems like a neat idea, and was curious if you folks wanted to do the same.
After all, we can't let the Carolina guys have a leg up on the cool stuff, now can we?

>> HERE << is a link to their map. Check it out and see what you think.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Bob

EDIT: By the way, I sent a mass email to everybody I have on my GAS list, if you didn't get it, then I don't have your email address. If you'd like to be on the list, send me a PM.
Also, to those of you I've been spamming with links to porn sites (again), my apologies.
Please do NOT click on the links sent from my account, unless I reference "GAS" in the subject line of the email.

I think its a great idea. We just started a project in Greensboro, NC. Maybe I can meet some of those guys!

Seems like a good idea to me

Ditto. WTF happened to SC? No electricity?

I like it. It would be great to figure out another audio pub crawl if we could see "who's where". How do we start?

I don't know, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

I'm just gaging interest right now. If it looks worthwhile, I'll dig into it further.

Thanks for the heads-up about it Matt.

Sounds good. By the way, thanks for using email. I'm not on this board that often and often find that I miss listening events by just a few days because they were discussed here.

You're very welcome Jim.
I've thought about emailing notifications for listening sessions as I see them pop up, but never actually did it.

Thoughts on that too fellas? Do you want me to send emails of listening get togethers?

Great idea. You might also want to include audio stores and vinyl stores.

I'm in

Once you've created the map, members can go to the map and put a pin in their exact location.

Tim, good idea about businesses as well.

Mitsu, thanks for the video. I'll set up a Google account and let y'all know when I've got it set up.
Looks like there's enough unanimous interest.

Ok......Let's see if I did this right. Click >HERE<.
If all goes well, you should all be able to place a pin where you live and label the tag with your info.

Of course, don't put your personal information, (exact address and phone numbers), and don't zoom in so close and place the pin on your from door.

Let me know if this works

OOhh,,,,,
I put my pin on the name of my town, nearest the closet major intersection to my house.

Also, it's possible to add pictures and videos to the pins. Might be cool if we add some of that kind of stuff.
That way, if you want to see pictures of a guys system, you can go to the map, click his pin, and view his pictures.

I'll be the Carolina guys aren't doing that.
