This seems like an inefficient way to handle this. Google Maps may be nifty, but this sort of calculation doesn't need to be done client-side in bloated javascript, and people shouldn't have to edit a cumbersome text file. My mining map is up [http://sokar.cwru.edu/atitd/mining.php here], and it's much faster. It also lets you register certain mines under a login so that you can show only the mines you own, for example. I'll be gone all this weekend, but I'm planning to import all the data here into that map once I get the chance. --[[User:Dachannien|Dachannien]] 20:41, 31 December 2008 (EST) | This seems like an inefficient way to handle this.

I've just finished importing all of the data from this map into [http://sokar.cwru.edu/atitd/mining.php my mining map]. Firefox has a lot of trouble on my laptop with the Google map because there are so many points, but since the map on my site constructs the image server-side, it runs a lot faster. --[[User:Dachannien|Dachannien]] 13:06, 18 January 2009 (EST) | I've just finished importing all of the data from this map into [http://sokar.cwru.edu/atitd/mining.php my mining map].

Others will be coming soon, thanks to Lokim. - Orrin
Let's get this thing sorted!
Are you sure that the vein leading into the QR tin is iron not copper?
- Yes. We have a few mines there already. It's really iron and tin. I'll try to bring more data from QR. --Amhur 19:53, 29 December 2008 (EST)
Nice, that's worth knowing. Wonder where the copper is then... anyone map it for me? - Orrin
Is it possible to get icons for some of the other metals, incliding zink?

This seems like an inefficient way to handle this.
