Yeah, I know where that is...close enough to my old house that I could have walked to see the fire if it had exploded. We've since moved from that area. :) Thanks for the additional info!

Really glad you found the map embedding, API, and mobile access useful. I'm not sure you looked at the site recently, but we added some more pages for every map. For example, a dashboard overview page with a heatmap, category breakdown, and date chart. See a blog post about it here: http://blog.yourmapper.com/2009/09/feature-dashboard-heatmap-date-chart-category/ This is the dashboard for the national Meth Labs map: http://www.yourmapper.com/location/all/all/137/meth-labs There are also specific location pages for cities and states, like this one for Tennessee: http://www.yourmapper.com/location/TN Speaking of meth labs, you discovered that there was no data for Tennessee on the map. We checked it out, and grabbed the correct data from the DEA. Ah, the joys of screen-scraping webpages that were generated by hand, because the gov't agency doesn't offer the data for download. Sorry about that, and it's complete now, so you can check out Chattanooga. Looks like this location is closest to you, off Brainerd Rd: http://www.yourmapper.com/details/137/14491/102-south-howell-avenue.htm Thanks for featuring Your Mapper, UsefulTools!
