There's so much going on in Glasgow now, it can be hard to keep track of it. I was thinking a map woudl be useful - I've started one in Google, cos its easy to use, but I'm not so keen on using corporate stuff. Anyway, a simpler, more stylised map would be easier to look at and understand, like a subway map, but that's beyond my capabilities. Any ideas?
Here's the link (btw, I've only put up a few things, there will be many more to add):

hi neil
i'm going to take a look at your map. it would be good to get one single map going, one that people could add to. i think a lot of people would like to offer support for different campaigns, events etc, and it would be helpful for them to know how to get to them! also, it would be good for all of us to see how much is going on, and maybe see how we can link these things up as well.
talk to you later

I thought the green map were using some fancy maping stuff but they use google to?

A lot of potential here for mapping it would be good to define an open source map / www.openstreetmap.org/ index.html
There's this one:

Find it difficult to use though. I will ask about to see if there is anything else
