Re: How do you get coverage circles in Google maps?

Pro tip... use the measuring tool to draw circles! Google Earth Pro's drawing tools do not include an easy way to draw accurate circles. But, the ruler/measuring tool does let you measure circular areas and save them as KML, so you can do the following to draw a circle: Open measuring tool (ruler i...

How do you get coverage circles in Google maps?

I've always wanted a map that has siren coverage circles in it. I know that there are a lot of tutorials out there for circles, but all of them use the same websites or other maps, and the questions on google and other websites don't help either. The websites that are out there are really confusing ...

Re: Amarillo, TX Siren Map

I've made this map and it shows its current system and old system, and added the coverages for the 2001s, 508s, and other such sirens, please let me know if there's any more locations, thanks! https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1k7oUSRxF2lPP7_5E5FMELWghaCki2no&ll=35.159816464588594%2C...

Re: Siren replacement help.

It unfortunately might not be possible to tell them to not take it down. It still very may be likely, just be careful about who you ask about it, and be prepared for your plan to backfire. They might have some good reasons why they want to take it down! I'm fine if they want to replace a very old T...

Re: Civil Defense Logo Recreation

The CD logo was typically a decal that they would put on the siren. They usually used a highly adhesive sticker or glued the decal onto the siren itself. If you need it, here's an original CD logo you can use: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Roundel_of_the_United_States_%281961%E...

Re: Schaumburg ACA P-50 Came Down Today…

I for some reason can't see the images. You may have to upload the images to the post, so they are more likely to be seen!

First or oldest sirens in existence

Where are the first sirens in a siren series located? If the actual first siren was removed, it can be the oldest still around. It can also be the different models as well as the oldest siren in that series in general. I just came up with this idea while I was looking around siren maps, and I finall...
