Expanding our resources database

[drglinski]

I was brainstorming last night after reading a thread about a starter generator repair, and what I might do if I needed one repaired. I know we have multiple threads on resources for our Cub Cadets, but how about this for a second...a database of locations of repair shops on a map with a search function. To expand a bit- a map of (The US? World?) where one could enter into a search box 'starter generator' or 'machinist' or 'tire shop' etc and narrow by zip code, address to an area where such services are offered. Make sense?

I don't know how feasible something like that for our site would be, how much interest it would draw, or how much would actually be able to be inputted into said map/database. I know if I needed a Starter/Generator repaired in my area I wouldn't know where to go, but if I had a map that I could narrow some search terms into I could find one better than using google or word of mouth. I wouldn't know where to go for an engine rebuild machinist locally either. I could detest that a good machinist for boring is Harts in Cecil Ohio, and that's something I could add to the map/database.

Did I lose you along the way? Or can you envision what I'm thinking?

I like the idea but think it would be overly complicated to setup and have it work properly. I would think a sub section with individual states listed that people could add info to would be easier, then when people needed info they could click on their state and see a list of services providers that people have listed.
