Cool beans Doug! What are some of the areas you are talking about and I'll
see about getting them up. It's only a matter of secs to pull the area up
and me put markers there. If it's "old" place names and I'm not familiar
with them, it's just a matter of me finding someone who knows it as the old
name and me taking it from there.
