Google maps of CFS regions available
« on: September 13, 2009, 12:18:27 AM »
Hi all,
   The original requirement was to plot the CFS regions but has appeared to morph into plotting all the stations which took a bit more time.

   Stations have been "plonked" in or near the centre of town rather than at the fire shed.

   The region border is roughly close but not exact. I reckon I am within 100kms although the region 4 and 6 border we are talking a couple of small European countries out.

The second issue was that Google hated the number of overall pins and I have had to create separate maps per region.

They are open for updates from anyone however I will probably just give a few edit rights once they are refined a bit more. Happy for brigades to use these as they want and to add places like fire towers or non-operational locations as long as they are fire related.

All Regions
Region 1
Region 2
Region 3
Region 4
Region 5
Region 6

Several of the CFS stations were already marked on Google earth...... marked right on top of the relevant station....
