Subject: New Mapping feature for Friends of Where's George?
Posted by Hank on February 24, 2004 at 2:49 PM:


Thanks to the hard work of Frank and his cadre of users, I've been able to incorporate his Hits by County mapping program into Where's George? My Hits by County map is above.

The next time you refresh the YOUR BILLS report, you'll see a new option "Hits by County Map". From there, it works pretty much the same as the Hits by State map. The system has been collecting the "Hits by County" data for a few days now, so the first time you run the map, you'll most likely have lots of missing states. Simply refresh those states on the "Hits by COUNTY" report (not ZIP or CITY), and the data will be added for the next map refresh. It might take a few days for you to get all the states loaded at 10 runs per day. When you are refreshing the "Hits by County" reports, if you refresh them one-after-another quickly, they will go much faster. The longer you wait between different state refreshes, the longer each one will take.

Also, the first time you create a map, you'll have to supply the four cutoff values. They are not calculated automatically, like the State map. But once you enter them, they will be saved.

There also is a nifty HTML color-picker to help select colors for your map.

I'd also like to thank the following people who helped Frank create the dataset that makes these detailed maps possible:

Enjoy!!
