GPS coordinates of pillboxes

Could we have back the coordinates of the relics from your map such as...

Example as in PB104a/b 114.26014, 22.33317

I think it is more easy and convenient for the layman to visit those wartime relic sites at their leisure.

I've made a couple of changes to that map:

  1. The markers are now colour-coded to show their condition: red=demolished, yellow=ruin, blue=unknown
  2. When you click on a marker, the pop-up window shows the GPS coordinates of the pillbox

I hope that helps.

In return, as you visit the pillboxes, please could you report back on what you find? eg if you visit PB 104 a/b, please leave a comment on its page: http://gwulo.com/node/14317. Useful information includes:

  • More accurate GPS reading
  • Current condition
  • Any tips on how to find it if it isn't obvious
  • Any photos showing what it looks like today (here's how to upload a photo: http://gwulo.com/node/2076)
