The other things that are on my short list of things to add are directions to and from a specific location, downloadable GPS waypoints. 

I have been considering adding some sort of user feedback or comments capability for each launch, as I do not have the time to visit every location on a regular basis, and it would be a good way to keep others informed of the status or condition of launch sites.

If you have any requests, comments, or feedback, feel free to leave them here or email me at PAUL AT KAYAKVB.COM and don’t be shy.

As soon as I have a somewhat working preview, I’ll post a link here, somewhere here…
Thank You

Don’t know how long it will take.

When I initially wrote the mapping pages, Google maps only had 16 meter resolution aerial views for the majority of Southeast Virginia, and Yahoo had much better aerial/satellite views which is why I went with Yahoo. Now google maps has improved their imagery as well as the application, and the current pages are dated

In a nutshell I plan on adding the ability to get to/from directions, Down-loadable way-points, and a better more stable interface. I am also open to suggestions on improvements.
