I have changed the Field Directions (http://www.wimac.ca/index.php?page=directions) page to use Google My Maps feature, which allows one to place icons and draw shapes onto their great map service.

I have dispensed with the ridiculously lengthy instructions and obsolete pictures (http://www.wimac.ca/img/directions/driveway.jpg) that reflected a time when we used to have a nice club sign (http://www.wimac.ca/img/directions/entrance.jpg) which has since been replaced with the local school sign and a huge ugly mass of a mud hill.

Let me know if you have any problems with this map in your browser.

Cause they are all in the air... :)

Actually, there is a far better Birdseye view of our field on Microsoft's Live Maps website, you can even see a plane on the runway (http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=rk8b3d8v68cv&style=b&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&scene=28374685&encType=1)...

The photography is out of date though since the pilot stations are using the old orange fence material so that puts it at least 2 years old. And if you switch to aerial view, you will see a slightly different scene, different day, different plane on the runway.
