+Chris n Maria Posted March 18, 2002 Posted March 18, 2002 Anyone know of an on line site that takes co-ordinates and shows you where the nearest pubs are? Chris "We're not lost - we just don't know where we are" Quote
JasonW Posted March 18, 2002 Posted March 18, 2002 Not an online site, but my mate's dad must have a mental map of the British Isles based on navigation by licensed premises..... he once gave me directions to a little village in Co. Galway (from Newcastle) entirely by reference to pubs..... I could ask him to cross-index with OSGB if you like Quote

+kennamatic Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 Over the last few months I've written to most of the major chains to ask them to include lat/longs for their pubs, restaraunts, bars etc. when they next provide their in house guides/magazines. I've also written to the Good Beer Guide etc. etc. Whether any take any notice or not I've no idea as nobody has bothered to reply. I can't believe none of them already have done this, as the potential market, apart from us gallant geo-cachers must be increasing rapidly. If you have sat-nav in the car and a pub guide with co-ords it will take you right to the door and you probably ignore other pubs on the way. It seems a great way of locking people in to your chain or group. I sometimes visit the trade exhibitions so the next time I'm at a relevant one I'll give 'em a good grilling! Oh and of course, I'll offer all our services to log the locations for them in return for free food and drink! Finding your caches - Losing my marbles. Quote
