Google Earth: Crossfit Affiliates

Ralph Garcia · 12-16-2005, 03:03 PM

For all of you that have and use Google Earth, here's the file you'll need to find ALL 50 Crossfit Affiliates across the globe. Each placemark includes contact info for each affliate.

For those who do not have Google Earth, you download it for free from here:
http://earth.google.com/

Also, here are a couple screenshots from the globe view.

To those of you who own/run a Crossfit Affiliate, please let me know if there's any corrections to be made with your locale. Also, there are a few that do not include a location/address. Post updates and corrections to made be on this thread and I will update the file.

That is spectacular! Athena looks tired though.

Ralph-
Good stuff. You beat me to it. I got a similiar idea a couple months ago but lost interest and lacked skills.
My idea was sort of a next step, with a tie in to some sort of online user updating DB. For an example see
http://www.housingmaps.com

of Google maps mash ups. Could be live classes/meeting updates, free ones in the park looking different from businesses. Oh what Crossfit geeks dream.....
Good work!

Thanks Mikki and Justin.

Justin, your idea for doing the mash up so that the area maps could be updated live is a great idea, but way beyond my knowledge and computer skills. Maybe someone reading this with the skills (and time) will take on the task.

Thanks! This is so cool!

Something funny though - I have only seen one map, ever, that shows my area correctly. Google is no exception. They have the roads laid out wrong. But the photo is right - lots and lots of trees!

The utter lack in Canada is depressing. While there are a few, there certainly isn't a good spread... a well time to start going door to door...

Hey,
Don't forget our friends in the Middle East, they deserve an Athena to mark their efforts, no?

Ralph Garcia · 12-19-2005, 06:42 AM

John,
We also have people in Australia, other parts of Canada, and other countries in Europe, but I didn't include them because I didn't see them on coach's affiliate list on the homepage.

I'll be happy to amend the file accordingly, I just need the affiliate members to post their contact info here.

John Hoffner · 12-21-2005, 07:16 AM

Karma.
I am now trying to open the file to find CrossFit Philly and I cannot get it to work.
Any sugestions?
Its saving as a .unk can't get it so save any other way...

Ok, now I am just showing my computer incompetence, I got it to work, disregard.
Thanks
