Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I had an idea...
How bout I make a google map (using API) of all of the friendlies, and all of the nons...
Can have green dots for friends, reds for foes...
Clicking on the dot will give you the business name, addy, phone.
Happy to put in the time to make it, if you guys think it will get used... Let me know.

If you build it, we will look at it.

I just had a "Field of Dreams" moment there...
<p>Cool... I'm on it...<br />
<br />
If you guys could start entering data into <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=p9BGZqRJ37N8q0H-C5hNTIA&hl=en " target="_blank">THIS FORM</a>, That will help build the database.<br />
<br />
You can <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9BGZqRJ37N8q0H-C5hNTIA" target="_blank">CHECK THE DATABASE HERE</a> to see if yours is already listed.<br />
<br />
Here is a VERY crude first draft... I'll embed it when it gets close to something useable...</p>

For some reason, I don't seem to be able to add items to the form in Google Docs.
IncaKola / Mods, you should break this out into a new thread.

See if the form lets you add now...
Sorry, just getting started... will be plenty of bugs to begin with. Stick with me...

I was able to submit an item, I don't see it on the form yet though.
You should add date field for when the location was spotted.

Great Idea... Done...
Form should be set now. (it does take up to 5 min for the spreadsheet to update)

I added a couple, and everything seemed to work fine.
I plan on adding everyone I see (which isn't many.)

I added the Apple Valley Medical Clinic. It is showing up in the spreadsheet, but none of the items are showing on the map.

I put one in for a bank in Dundas ages ago, and it never showed up on the map. What did I do wrong?

Hmmm... I see that just fine... I may have a permissions issue. I'll look into it.
