As the list grows we may want to change the format to something like Pete put on here. Break it down by state, might be easier to navigate. JMO
I've made the list in Excel, it can be easily sorted by any criteria. When I try and make it look organized on the forum by making columns, it doesn't work.
I'll also put down the Lat/Longs of each town listed, so that it can be easily imported into any mapping program, like DeLorme or MS Streets & Trips.
Since I have both of those mapping programs, what I'll do is make an export file for each one, the Excel spreadsheet, and finally a tab-delimited CSV file, then upload them all onto my private web server. This is not searchable by search engines (outsiders wouldn't/can't see it), you can only find it by me posting the link.
The export file can simply be downloaded, double clicked on, opened, and whola! Everyone has a dot on the map, with a quick descriptor of name and services. The Excel and CSV files can be used by mapping software other than the two listed and imported.
I'm tied up this weekend, clamming is open at the beach, I'll get to it later next week.
