Apropos the recent thread about finding help to get to advanced level, I realised the list of geographic areas and the list of towns isn't particularly user friendly when someone is searching for a local group and/or a driving instructor. I followed the link for one local group and the equivalent informational page for RoADAR was displayed, and that was hardly any better. The only difference was the inclusion of a UK clickable map, but that only selected regions of the UK.
How difficult would it be to use Google Maps with different push-pins displayed for IAM or RoADAR local groups, and for driving instructors? I'm thinking that being able to select only to display driving instructors that train to advanced level, for example, would really help people find what they are looking for, especially as Google Maps is zoomable, and so it would be easy to focus on one location and see what training resources are available in the area.
there is only the road, nothing but the road ...
