Hi all,
I've created an open Google Map. Feel free to add yourselves to it (to the existing map layer) using your user name from here.
The idea is really just to see if there are other PilotAware users nearby you can contact (via PM on here) to help with testing units against each other. It's not a list of actively running units.

Well done Ian.....I'm added !!
-
I have added myself. Well done great idea.
-
Location added. The ICAO code for my first unit is 6010DD.
-
Cracking idea Ian. I'm in and, so far, am by far the most northern outpost of the empire.
-
Good Idea, But I may be a little slow here How do you add yourself? with your Forum Name?
-
On the map under the search bar there is a little tear drop which when hovered over says "Add Marker".....click on this, then the location where you are on the map and it should appear...then fill in the details of your forum name from here....and jobs done !!
-
Yea add a pin to the map roughly where you are with your forum name to the PilotAware Owners layer.
I've added a second map layer to which we could add live running units but it's probably too much faff for everyone to keep accurate so probably best to coordinate running / testing between yourselves.
If you do add this this one, include your hex code your PAW is using and ensure it's up and running for people flying over to detect.
-
Hrrrrr OK Now I see.... I'm Added
-
Added
-
I'm added. 5 miles SW of Bath. 2 Units built and running. Just need License Key for Unit 2.
My phone number is included as 'info' on my Place Mark if you are travelling that area. call me and I'll keep a look out.
You can land at my Strip but is is PPR to ensure Aircraft performance matched facility!
Regards
Gerry

Neat - would be fun to visit sometime
-
After completing a "in car test" with the heath Robinson unit and fining it all working (just waiting for the licence in case I decide to use it with a ipad) have have mark my base on the map as a winter.
-
Added to map, Quik 912S microlight, based at Ince Airfield.

Do you need a google account to do this then?
-
Great idea. Added.
-
Do you need a google account to do this then?
Yes you do. Then you also need to make sure you are in edit mode to see the pointer.
-
Google can eff off, its allready got me in trouble with those targeted adds for "remove before flight" panties
-
You brought some then :)
-
Well, they were on offer
-
I can add you if you want?
Just PM me the name and any txt you want added, and of course your approx location of opperation
-
Put myself on at Sleap.
Awfully lonely over here, by the look of it.
I'll have to start persuading people to start building PAWs over this way, or start a production line for them!

Or just fly over and visit - I love Sleap and its caff !
-
This should probably be a sticky? Great idea, thankyou
-
et voila.
-
Added myself, first in Italy ? 8)
-
Looks like we have picked up some intruders on the map.
Point 52 (twice)
Parkinson Eric & Sons (!)
Also, possibly:
Point 33
Point 37
We also keep getting empty layers being created - I have deleted several so far.
It seems that anyone can edit anything on the map, which is a bit of a concern. Do we have any policy for identifying and deleting these intruders?
-
Point 52 is me. EricC located Poulton-le-Fylde Lancs. No idea about the others unless it came from my
google maps. Sorry for the mix up. EricC
-
Added - hopefully going to try some in-flight tests soon, as well as ground-based tests for the aircraft landing a few miles south of me at Gatwick.
-
I'm in at wilmcote
Cheers

Added, flying out of Sywell
-
Added. Not happy about adding contact details directly on Google maps for reasons already discussed. How about adding club / home airfield (e.g. SW Flying School @ EGBW)
-
Hi David, Just put your Pin location close to home if that is were the PA unit is running from. Mine is on a major roundabout a few minutes away. Once you are using it in an aircraft then the airfield would be a better location. What text you put in the comments in entirely up to you.
-
Added mine, brilliant spread of users
-
Added at home to Owners layer, almost 100 !?
ADS-B only at present, will add baro to Slice of POD, I have an ARF ready to go, waiting on GPS
-
The exact position doesn't matter btw - it's just to show roughly where people are so people close to each other can get together if they want to :)
-
Added 2nd unit for G-TAMS, EGLK
-
Another one to add to the few north of the border. Flying flexwing out of East Fortune. ADSB with GPS only at the moment. J. Curtiss shield and Baro on the way and still considering sending for ARF as another club member has the full kit but not put together yet.
Potential for further testing on the ARF range etc. ???

Unit under construction @ Chester
-
Just added myself with 2 early version units carrying software 20151114.
Pin on the edge of my village, not my house or nearby Government Aerodrome!
-
Added myself =)
Sad to see that I'm the first one in Sweden.
-
Just added myself. Based at Popham (Jodel 1050) - have working unit just adding speech output to it.
-
Added myself some weeks ago. Stockholm, Sweden.
-
EFOU added, PAW is great continuously improving product, thanks to developers!
-
Added near Crawley flying out of Shoreham
-
Added Isle of Man, EGNS
-
Imin Tally ho!lol
-
Here is a bump for the map. There must be loads of working units out there now. It would be good if as many of us as possible were on the map?
Rumour has it that my two neighbouring airfields have units but I haven't had any contacts on SD as yet. Loads of others
-
Just got a PAW unit and ground testing it now while aircraft is on maintenance :)
Based at Blackpool and added to map :)
-
Hi Folks!
My Kindest Regards to all PAW user!!
I am new on board ... my name is Georg Winkler and I have my 1963 Cherokee-235-Oldtimer located at EDGS actually.
Hope to meet one or the other from here in the "flying world" around....
-
Added, flying from Roddige.
-
added my unit at Holmbeck
also shown my Mode S ID (400C33)
-
Added :)
-
Haha, added mine just for a laugh, even if my PAW is still in its box :)
-
Added the first OGN-R Ground station in the center of The Netherlands, callsign PWHlaken!
If any of you fly nearby, let me know if you see traffic through the OGN network.
-
Rob /All,
I have added a separate map 'layer' to Ian's map for PAW OGN-R stations to make them easier to see amongst the throng of PAW users.
See..... https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zVI6qIGFGOBI.k8XS-lFctmQ4&usp=sharing
OGN-R station 'owners / installers' please feel free to add your OGN-R stations to this layer, preferably using the standard format I have set up. Any probs please get in touch.
I have added a detailed set of tips/instructions here... http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1075.msg12847.html#msg12847

Fenland is up and running. It just needs the colour tab changing. I didnt want to try in fear of messing it up :)
-
Thanks John,
I am out in India and couldn’t get internet access ‘til tonight, but see someone has sorted it. Congrats on getting Fenland up and running.
Regards

Dunkeswell (PWEGTU) went active Sunday 28 Jan 2018
-
Added myself, but put where the aircraft is rather than myself as live over an hour away from where I fly
-
Hi Alan,
That's absolutely fine. Nice to see you on board. Will keep an eye out for you (I fly from East Fortune).
Regards
Peter
-
Added :)

PWBroadmd is now online with aerials properly installed outside.
Based at Broadmeadow Farm, Hereford, only a few miles from Chris at Kingstone, but all helps with the coverage :-)
Steve

Hi Steve
Brilliant thanks. Herefordshire now has great coverage and redundancy. Lets see how the coverage map grows. Thanks to all our supporters. lets see what we can do next with this.
-
Added a unit I've handed over for use elsewhere.
Please add yourselves to the map!
-
Hi All,
This map looks well out of date in some respects ie there has been a PAW ground station at Bembridge for 6 months at least and there is nothing at Lee on Solent contrary to this map.
There is a Glider ground station west of Brighton at Southwick (not on the map) and I am gently on the case to persuade the owner to upgrade to PAW.

A great idea Ian. I've just added myself.
Lets hope a lot more do the same
Phil (MrBlueSkyWhy its an ELO thing)
