tweak 0 #26 November 24, 2004 Well, finally have the answer (thanks to FlyingJ!). ASC is 4A4 and The Farm is located about 5 miles down the road. Sometimes depending on the a/c and load they (The Farm) will takeoff from the grass field located from their dz. Other times they will shuttle to Cornelius-Moore Field Airport (4A4) to depart, which is where ASC is. So, in short, the lat/long info for 4A4 points to ASC and the lat/long info for The Farm is gonna be hard to get unless someone from there can provide. Thanks to Jason (FlyingJ) for the info!

ltdiver 3 #27 November 24, 2004 Just FYI to those who use the listed distance to DZ (from your house, etc) and then check with MapQuest. I entered my home location then clicked the MapQuest distance to Perris. MapQuest = 42.0 miles Listed Distance on the Location Finder = 20.59 miles Guess one is how the crow flies. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sangiro 26 #28 November 24, 2004 ***Guess one is how the crow flies.*** Did you check the distance on the directions page as well? There's a not on the results page that the distance represents the "as the crow flies" distance... The driving distance is on the directions page.Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #29 November 24, 2004 QuoteDid you check the distance on the directions page as well? Yeah. That's where I found 42.0 miles. I called it MapQuest. QuoteThere's a not on the results page that the distance represents the "as the crow flies" distance... My bad. Just saw that note when I rechecked. Interesting. I knew there were alot of wonderful curvey roads between here and there, but didn't know it added 100% to the distance! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sangiro 26 #31 November 24, 2004 QuoteYeah. That's where I found 42.0 miles. I called it MapQuest. How does that compare to the distance for the same locations given in the Drop Zone Locator? (not the straight line! )Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #32 November 24, 2004 Wow! I just checked this out, and that's really cool, Sangiro! Thanks for all the work you and simpsora have done on this! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerrcoin 0 #33 November 24, 2004 Quote....Ireland (Dublin only)...... So, we'll go after these countries first while we look for alternative and additional sources of geocoding data. We're just starting though so it would not harm to start collecting latitude and longitude data for all DZs. I wouldn't bother doing Ireland. We only have 4 DZs, 1 of which is actually in the UK (Northern Ireland - it's still on the island of ireland dammit) and one of which is a roaming DZ. We don't bother with postcodes, except in Dublin city and those cover large urban areas rather than individual streets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GogglesnTeeth 6 #34 November 24, 2004 Sangro! Nice new toy!!! Now it will be seriously easy to look for local drop zones when I'm looking for jobs out of state. No local DZ, not taking the job!

pilotdave 0 #35 November 24, 2004 Hehe I was a little surprised when I saw that the nearest DZ is only 29 miles from me, when I travel more like 80 over the road to get to mine. Course the one 29 miles away is across about 28 miles of water from me (long island sound). Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #36 November 25, 2004 QuoteHH YOU ROCK!!! Thanks for fixing Buckeye! 1) Can anyone really ever 'fix' Buckeye? 2) Do the locals -want- it 'fixed'? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peckerhead 0 #37 November 26, 2004 Must be air miles, a straight line between point "A" and point "B" It says the nearest dz is 52 miles (I wish) actually it is about a 115 mile drive. And another DZ that is actually a shorter drive (78 miles) is listed at 68 miles. You can't cross large bodies of water with out a bridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpoutnow 0 #43 December 3, 2004 Hey Sangiro, The Farm is located 3.2 miles south from 4A4 Cedartown Cornelius Moore airport. We are a private facility with our own airstrip. I will provide you with lat/long coordinates in a few days. WE HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH ASC NOR ANY OF THEIR BOGUS WEBSITESQuotePeople are crazy. Cuz there's more of 'em.
