Here is my basic mapping tool i built years ago. It was meant to be a AutoNAV analog but was never completed.

http://googlemaps.juhlin.com/map_ver_0_5_002.html

Unfortunately google keeps changing specs so things break. Some day I may fix the strike visualizations (you used to be able to see the damage rings) and the units tab. Plus I would like to add markers for resources and map elements.

To get to the Morrow project strikes click on the strikes tab and then click "Manage" button . Change from Tw2k Canon Strikes (default) to Expanded Morrow Strikes. Then as you drag around the map the window will get updated with the closest strikes. (Expand shows the nearest 25)

You can still use the "MAP" and "RESOURCES: tabs to find all sorts of things from airstrips, hospitals and schools (MAP) to mines, chemical plants, and renewable energy sources (RESOURCES). Once you click on the Tab you can click "Manage" to select what elements you want to find.

I think it defaults to renewable energy sources and population centers. (and I was just starting transmitters when I stopped working so that is very partial)

The markers can also be cool for measuring stuff. As you can plop one down and then see how far it is from any particular point. Click Mark and it should put a pushpin in the map. Using the marker button you can see how far you are from the point once you move around.

All in all it is about 50% functional but I still use it a lot even if it is just using the markers to measure an airstrip of something.

Oh you can change from km/meters to miles/feet and a few other things in the options section.


Hope it is useful.




edit (search was broken but i think it is fixed now)

edit 2. If the link does not work, give it a few hours as I just created the sub-domain and it can take a bit to propagate to the world.
