Re: [WISPA] Mapping Effort. If you can't donate $$, donate time
Quick Note: To submit the zip codes, use the contact us form at the WISP Directory site and put the name of the provider in the subject line and the zip codes (separated by spaces, no commas) in the Message field. Or you can send the information directly to my email address below. Thanks!

Hello Brian, Thank you for your efforts to help us with the mapping and taking the time to make sure that all of the WISPs in Michigan have their coverage areas listed on the WirelessMapping map. I would encourage you (if you have another couple of hours to spend) to send me the list of zip codes serviced by each of the other operators so that I can get the zip code information into the WISP Directory database. I am a little concerned that the data on Brian Webster's map and the WISP Directory database is starting to diverge, so I would encourage anyone who is contributing coverage map information for Brian's map to also include the zip code information. We really need to have that zip code information to back up the data. Brian, in return for your help, I have set you up with "Featured" status so now Reliable Internet comes up first in any search for Michigan WISP providers. I have done this for Doug Clark in Utah in exchange for his help mapping Utah operators and Rick Harnish in Indiana for his help with the mapping. I will extend that offer to anyone else who wants to earn "Featured" status for their listing in the directory. Help us fill in the zip codes for your state and I'll set you up with a featured listing. Thanks again for your help!

[WISPA] Mapping Effort. If you can't donate $$, donate time
I just spent three hrs mapping all of Michigan. I went to wispdirectory.com and visited the website of all 37 Michigan wisps. At each website I looked for a list of cities covered or a coverage map. I then put that info in google earth. If they had a coverage map with blobs, I would use lakes, rivers, and roads to draw the blob in google earth the best I could. If they had cities, I typed the city in google earth, and it flies to it. After it is done flying, I clicked the push pin button and then "ok". It's quick and easy. I sent the earth file to Brian and he ran it through his process which draws the circle around every city. The info I just submitted accounted for 29,859 square miles. I urge others to step up and take a couple hrs to map their state. I plan on knocking off a few more when I can. Please post if you have done or are going to do one. Brian Rohrbacher WISPA Wants You!
