Anyone want to make a map of homebrewers?

Has anyone ever tried to map where the homebrewers in the are world are? I work for a mapping company and was playing around with a new release of cloud mapping technology. What do you think?

there are a ton of home brewers... the map may get overcrowded... and I'm not sure of the benefit to mapping home brewers would be. Maybe a map of home brewing supply stores and resturaunt equipment stores etc. would be a better fit as an app.

IIRC we have one already on here that noone uses. I can't think of what it was called, else I'd search for it. Is it a farkle map or something?

I could add layers for clubs and stores. I was thinking about a denisty or heat map. Just something I was playing around with.

Here I sit at my intership with a government GIS agency loving this idea

Added clubs and stores. I could turn on a clustering display to reduce the clutter.

This is funny. [ame="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Milwaukee,+Wisconsin+53212&ll=42.712767,-87.868376&spn=0,359.99673&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=42.712665,-87.868753&panoid=rzchRuODjIalR_4vwY2jOg&cbp=12,17.24,,0,7.21"]Homebrewer caught on Google Maps[/ame]

This is the Home Brew Talk map on Google Maps. I don't kinow if you need a google acct to see it. You do need one to add to it, I think.

Thanks for posting it, I couldn't remember anything about it to search for it. And the word map was too short for search to find it.

Do you have a Google acct? If so, just go to google maps and click on My Places. There it is (if you've put yourself on the map, that is; perhaps you didn't).

I use Google Earth to track my brewery/brewpub visits. When I click on the layer, all my points show up, it's pretty cool. To keep sharp, I like to try to "find" the place visually rather than just typing in the address and "flying" to it. I was a map analyst in the Army so I like to keep my skills up

That's awesome

I use brewster to track my beers, wish they had stores in it. Anyone else use brewster?

It's a friend of a guy who used to be on here. I'll dredge up the thread... back in 5.

[edit] ... I'm back.

Nice, how did you score that internship? What agency?

What mapping company? I recently graduated with a BS in GIS and its tough in this economy finding a job.

I changed my major to GEA (geospatial and environmental analysis) in the geography department going into my senior year last fall. I desperately wanted to get work experience so I offered to work unpaid for my county's GIS department. Its awesome and I get 3 credits for it!

I work for Esri, we are always hiring. We are a software company, so a lot of jobs are in sales or development, but we have ops in other areas. Send me a pm and we can talk.

We do have an office in San Ant and Dallas.

I'm spending my summer formatting our spatial data to collaberate with your "Community Maps Program" if you are familiar with that. So far I have made it through 8,000 of 267,956 buildings in my county to be mapped for you guys

nice, we have a lot great cities in the community maps program. Stuff looks much better than google!

It blurs out any place on the map I look at.

i work for a federal agency and have been asked to learn how to use ArcGIS. Being an old geezer, this new technology is baffling to me.
