It seems like 914's are concentrated into a few areas of the country. At least, 914's for sale on the web, and membership on this site would suggest.
When I lived in Tampa a few years ago, I saw ONE 914 in a shop. that was it. Now that I am in CA, I see lots of 914 members online from Tampa! Where were they when I lived there??? Anyway, around here, I see 914's in the Riverside area a lot, and when I lived in Monterey, used to see them around there and the SF Bay area. But here in the perfect climate for them, the Palm Springs total of 914's to date that I have seen is, Two. So, where would you say is the highest concentration of 914's? |

So, is anyone working on a map??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I tried the scribble maps but not near as easy to use as the old frapper.
Beyond my skills. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

I just set up a map via google. Set so that anyone can add their info.
I started by placing a marker and titling it with my car info: '74 LE Creamsicle In the text area, I put my forum name and then info about my 914s. Take a look and add your info. Seems easy enough. 914s Around the World (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Then click the pushpin icon to add a pin, and click in the vicinity of your car on the map... type in a title and description. Then click "Done" on the sidebar. Everyone add yours! (I imagine there's a batch way to take the VIN database, x-referenced with the owners' geographical location from profiles, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) but maybe due to consent issues we should just let people add their own for now.) |

Currently, your location field is neither mandatory info nor is it formatted in any way. The current field in the database is pretty much useless for any sort of automation as it is a free text field with NO validation for input. The new member map will tie your entry to your profile, however, everyone will have to add and place their own marker themselves. You'll be able to upload a image, info text and links with your marker. The members map will be clustered like the example i posted earlier. Without clustering, the map performance will degrade at about 250 markers or more. At about 1,000+ markers, a map becomes unusable. Thus the clustering ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |
