dt tour map

[Arch]

I started a Google map plotting out places dt have toured in.

Currently, I've charted 12 or so places of their first U.S. tour in 2002. I'd like to cover every venue and every concert tour date they've been in, not just the U.S. ones. The tough part is getting the exact locations and coordinates (ex. latitude 43.071753 longitude -85.926602). I'm basing the information off of dt's tour page. As mentioned on that page, some info may not be complete or accurate. I appreciate some help if you could provide coordinates and the names of the venues they've performed in (but missing on their tour page), especially outside of the U.S.

If you would like to offer suggestion or help to the map, that would be cool too.


Here's the map.

Drop me a line when you get to mapping the Italian dates, I'm sure I can pinpoint the exact place they happened. As for the rest of the non-US venues, right now the only thing that comes to mind is that the Tuska festival DT played at in 2004 takes place in the middle of Helsinki, very close to the train station. They also played in Greece, a few kilometers South (or was it East?) of Athens at another festival I've been to. That's all I have for now.

How can we determined the longitude and latitude ? I'm in the Google Maps thing, I've spot the place but.... I can't find long. lat. ....

Google Earth is a pretty good program to find exact locations and it is what I use. http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html

If you use Google Earth and would like to contribute, make sure the latitude and longitude is in degrees, not degrees, minutes, seconds. It's under Tools > Options...

Assuming that everything works and the program finds the right location, right click on the underlined address and click on properties. That should give you the coordinates:

Lastly, it's written in the Google maps documentation that this map may not work with Apple Macintosh's Safari browser.

@rahvin: Whenever you have time, let me know the locations for their Italian/Greek show anytime. No hurry. I'll get to their European tour soon enough.

@KitKat: Thanks! I'll input those in immediately.

Hail, fellow geeks! We actually made a Google earth tour for the last US trip, but not down to the exact coordinates. Very nifty program! Nothing beats waking up in your smelly bunk with the laptop on your belly informing you that there's a Starbucks next door to the venue.

 

[KitKat]

Hmmm the quebec city data isn't good actually... it doesn't point at the good place...
Maybe you can verify if you typed it right, and I'll check too !

Hahaha Google Earth is so useful, it even helps fellow metal heads plan their tours .


Well, this ones are the coordinates for the konzert DT gave on June 15th, 2005 at 20:30 +- in San Jose, Costa Rica. Thye did it in a place called "PLanet Mall", inside a shopping center called "Mall San Pedro". Those are the exact coordinates of where the stage was (kind of hehe ). :

In America, there's a Starbucks next to everything. Basically every other building is a Starbucks. Better hurry up there, this thread is becoming a Starbucks in fifteen minutes.

As for the NYC places, I'll bring my GPS unit along next time I'm there and find them for you

Why do you need a GPS unit, if "every other building is a Starbucks"?

 

[Kovenant84]

For the venues, silly Plintus.

Although conceivably you could just triangulate off of any three starbucks.
