Is there a way to access the Google Map tools on the AREDN online station map? Would be nice to be able to measure distance between stations, etc. like we can in regular Google Maps - guess I could load the .KMZ file? How is that mapping project coming along?
Are there different links to different versions?

not a bad idea. I'll research it.
the map contest submission period ends today. We will have the qualifying entries available within a few or so for everyone to vote on.
What do you mean by: "are there links to different versions"?
Darryl, if you go with a Leaflet based tool like I submitted, you can use Leaflet.MeasureControl to add this:
http://makinacorpus.github.io/Leaflet.MeasureControl/
(I do have to say, however, that it drags in *a lot* of extraneous--and fairly unstable--code from another package to make that distance measurement tool work... Non-ideal if you plan on embedding it in a node, but okay if you are just putting it on the website here.)

Daryl,
I changed out a couple Nanostation M2 nodes, W6LAR-1-Tower, in Yucaipa, CA and have replaced with a RocketDish M2. Can you delete the two NanoStations so I can upload the RocketDish?
Thanks,
Keith - AI6BX
What are the exact names of your two NS that you want removed?
W6LAR-1-Tower. There are two that are showing as Nanostations.
Thank you,
Keith
Only found one NS. I removed it.
Next time, clear your lat/lon and "Push" it before decommissioning the node.
Good Evening:
I have been updating the lat and lon for several of my nodes and notice that I now have one node showing up twice on the map. How do I delete a node from the map so my listings are correct?
Thanks,
Keith - AI6BX
I just also noticed that the node that has doubled on my map is not uploading the correct firmware version to the AREDN maps either. Even though it has the latest build it is still showing the last beta. Do they both need to be deleted so the correct fresh can be uploaded?

Hello Keith,
Our internal engineer who holds primary responsibility for the mapping server data generation is unavailable this week due to commitments so this may need to await a few days for him to return before someone has the availability to look into the issue for you.
AI6BX-2-Home nodes have been removed. You can now re-push it to the map.
what would have caused this? Something I did?
Nodes in the map are linked by their MAC address. I would guess maybe that you put a node on the map at one time, decommissioned that hardware, installed new hardware and named it the same as the old one, and pushed it to the map.
Need two nodes deleted.

Will try to delete before changes next time.

done.
FYI...
The pins on the map are keyed off of the MAC address of the device. So, if you rename the node, when you push, the pin will change.
If you decommission the node, but, still have access to it, you can reload AREDN, clear the lat/lon and push to clear it from the map.
Sweet - that works nicely, Darryl. Thanks!

Daryl,
thanks is for the help and added understanding of how to manipulate nodes on the map!
I love over the idea of being able to measure distance and showing actual links on the map!
Keith
How about a right click on the map and it would bring up multiple close nodes? Many times one node icon covers others.
That's why we HIGHLY recommend using Google Earth and the kml files. The HTML view is only intended to be a "high-level summary"
