As I am typing now, the message with the green rotating graphic is still spinning (it is in another tab and I just checked). . . . 2 minutes later, checked again, still spinning. Ross Hey,
OK, I tried the road-trip gadget again, this time trying a shorter distance – from East Syracuse, ny to New York City, a much shorter distance than my previous attempt. As I am typing now, the message with the green rotating graphic is still spinning (it is in another tab and I just checked). . . . 2 minutes later, checked again, still spinning.

After putting in the starting point - East Syracuse, Ny and the ending point - San Angelo, Tx, a screen came up with a map covering the east to Central US, on which was drawn an appropriate route between the two points Simultaneosly a message saying something like "we have asked google for directions" flashes on the screen. I tried it twice and waited about three minutes the first time and about five minutes the second before giving up. Please let me know via email what the problem is.

I travel for a living and am often desperate for NPR at times when I'm in the middle of nowhere...like now in Burlington, CO. Good job! Could you export this to a kml file? This is awesome!

My mind is blowing up! I am only barely comprehending the endless possibilities of web mashups and then to stumble upon this...an idea that I've had a hundred times in the last few years touring the states playing drums in band.....and for the exact same reason....because I love listening to Car Talk! I love it! Freaking awesome!!! My mind is blowing up!

I have been an NPR fan since I worked at an NPR station in grad school, 1972-3. This service was long overdue. I keep my own databases on NPR growth, but I am old man and don't have many computer skills. If you used the NPR PDF list of 9/2006, which had been the one on their website until they went Beta --and nothing opens as of this day, 4/21/2007, you may be interested in the following stations that have gone on/added NPR since then: Tacoma WA 90.1 KPLI on 9/18/06 Sutherland-Manchester VT 95.1 WJAN on 11/21 During 2007 Juneau 100.7 KXLL on 1/25 Juneau 102.7 KRNN on 1/25 Heathsville VA 89.1 WCNV ondate uncertain Harrisonburg VA 91.7 WEMC 2/19 Kankakee IL 91.1 WKCC 2/19 Platteville WI 89.1 WSSW 2/9 Keep up the great work; your site needs to be better known!

We did the same thing as GPS Points of Interest that can be loaded onto your GPS unit. The mashup you did is great to see the spatial distribution of the towers. The signal strength aspect of the implementation is great. Thanks so much. Very helpful. Great job on this mashup.

My brother and I had the same idea on a roadtrip from NYC towards the Rockies the week before Christmas. We kept losing This American Life during a very cool show. I am glad someone did this. Even though we thought it would be cool, we barely know our own zip code, let alone enoguh code to interface with the Google API. Keep up the good work! This is great.
