339A
Well Known Member
Not that this is anything new or earth shaking, but here is a great way to keep track of all your RV travels.

My wife and I (mostly Deb) have spent some time recently playing with Google Maps. It really is amazing what you can do with this program. We have just begun using it and have set up a map of all the airports that 339A has landed at. We used different color pins to represent respective years of first landings. You can edit the text box and write whatever you like in there. We have included the total number of landings and anything interesting that might have happened at that airport.
Another very cool thing is the satellite view. If you click on the Grand Turk pin change to satellite view and zoom in you get a great picture of the island and very blue Caribbean waters. Zoom in all the way to view the runway.
Our next goal is to get pictures of all the airports inserted in there as well. We have a few like Ashland, KY; Goodland, KS; Front Range (home base); Mt. Vernon, IL; and the island of Grand Turk. These have to be linked to an on-line photo album like Picasa. The great thing about this is it?s all free. You just have to have an e-mail account and off you go.
I have tried in the past to keep a map of the USA on a wall at home to track travels, but it just didn?t work out. This is easy to keep updated. I am amazed at all the places we have been with this plane in just two and a half years.
