Of course it can be done, rather easily actually. The semantics are simple: to have a map of Ireland (like the IFAS clubs one), and, with markers for specific areas on it, create hotspots that when clicked bring you to the HA info page for that location. But, that is the only drawback - you're then taken away from this site (unless there's an iFrames-or-other way of doing that). Something we have been thinking about already.

I would make it a small java applet or flash application, although I know the site is trying to save on bandwidth. I get a good few gigabytes a month for $10 and can handle all sorts of apps without any problems, I'm sure your host has high limits too, if not then time to change

i have done it on the DAS site deiseastronomy.com/
If you click on resources and then select the ISS hyperlink, there is a ISS position and ISS Times over Waterford hyperlink.
As Seanie correctly indicated, I achieved it using iFrames.

So any chance of getting this on the front page of the new site ??
Of course, like many other small additions (Moon Phases, perhaps weather maps, who knows). It will all be experimented with in due course.
