Up to date UK airsoft map?

[KenIchikawa]

I look and I find maps but they are pretty old and or out of date.

Currently around Manchester I can only find first and only and Trojan.

Halo Mill is over in Huddersfield.

But clicking on this map

http://www.airsoftmap.co.uk/

and this:

http://www.ukara.org.uk/approved-gamesites.php

Don't seem to be all that helpful...


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Re: Up to date UK airsoft map?

The map is way out of date as the 6 sites within 25 miles of me 3 have definitely been shut for at least 3 years if not more.

It is also like the site lists in the back of the magazines there are sites listed that are now closed I even pointed it out and was told only the site managers can have them removed but the site manager I know now longer has anything to do with Airsoft and has not for quite a while so there is no one to remove it.

Also the UKARA list for example only shows groups so some places will have multiple sites but are listed under one name and address.

There should be an up to date site list online as the Airsoft map is up dated but not current.

Look for 'AirBana'.

Nope airbana still lists the 3 closed sites same as the other map.

Even if they were up to date they're awful to navigate too.

Could we put together one on a moderated basis on Google Maps or something?

I'm having a look into this, got started with a few sites in the South. It would probably need an organised group to edit it.

I'm hoping that link will allow people to view, but not edit. If it works, let me know!

Works for me, looks good too

Sweet, glad that bit works.

I'm off to see the new Star Wars, so there won't be any more progress on this for a couple of hours, but if anyone is particularly eager to get involved in editing and maintaining this, PM me your google account email and I can get you added.

So far so good, maybe if others could edit for a couple of weeks it would be completed very quickly

That's the intention.

Hustle has offered to lend a hand already, and hopefully a few more would be willing to assist too!

Can't edit map obviously but ****** ***** urban is now closed although it is still listed on their website.

Very nicely done! I wonder whether a sticky thread is the best way to gather attention for it? That way people can post the details of the sites they want added to the map, and the details of sites that need to be removed from it?

Edited!

You're probably right. Any ideas who would be the best person to talk to about getting a thread stickied?

Okay, well covered the Northeast for now, barring one site that I'm still waiting on details for.
