I much prefer VE to Google... although the coverage of Scotland is a bit patchy.... You might be interested in having a look at my aviation links... I`ve made a list of UK airfields Active, Disused, Historic Locations etc etc... 1650 altogether. You can preview them live in VE... I`ve made a csv of the locations available as a free download on my Website.. just location,lat.long. Next step is to add some more info fields, categorise them and get them posted as a collection... Shouldn`t be too long now the coordinates are complete. Nicely done… I much prefer VE to Google… although the coverage of Scotland is a bit patchy….

You add listings by typing in the restaurant name and the city. As long as the restaurant name is in the system, the map will update with a pushpin on the location.  You can check out Tutorial: How to Create a Collection for a more detailed run through.

There is another very famous pool hall in Seattle that I forgot to include called Jillian's - http://www.jilliansbilliards.com. It's a pretty hip place to urban crowd to hang out... Jillian's hosts several tournaments throughout the year that attracts strong players. :) Glad you liked my collection!

I can go to Fred Meyer. Maybe I should create a collection of Fred Meyer's? And then I could link to video of me at the checkstand.

]]> Comment on Places to Visit in Pembrokeshire by Les Singleton http://www.passthepoi.com/?p=306#comment-44 Tue, 22 Aug 2006 19:40:45 +0000 http://www.passthepoi.com/?p=306#comment-44 This is a TOP tip, I have been to this place many times. I walked the Pembrokeshire coast path twice, and fell in love with Newgale. St Davids head is also a great place for sunsets. Park at Whitesands bay car park, and walk to the headland, stand amongst 3,000 year old stone circles, and watch the sun set slowly into the sea (sigh) - heaven on earth!
