Excellent stuff - keep up the good work.
Now that the Portal has all these sites with co-ordinates, can I suggest a way in which users might put the data to maximum use for planning visits.
If you want to go further than using the Portal map, buy something like Route 66 Europe software (http://www.66.com) It costs about £30 from PC World and the like. Then get a spreadsheet of the sites from here - I know this is being developed.
Route 66 contains a simple wizard which imports the spreadsheet; it asks you which columns are Name,Lat, Long, etc; press enter enter and they then appear as pushpins on the Route 66 maps. Dead easy.
You can then zoom these maps down to street name (Continental Europe generally has streetnames for rural streets) and this will help considerably with navigation.
If you have AutoRoute Express as part of the Microsoft Works Suite, this works the same way. Less good on the zoom but still very useable.
On both softwares, you can print off the maps, export them to your PDA or use them to create waypoints for a GPS (ok, the software's not essential for the last one!).
Now you know where they are, you'll want to know if the sites are worth visiting. Are there plans to extend the non-visited German sites to say something on condition? I know Sprockhoff is historic and the site might even be destroyed but I guess the odds are more likely to be that the Sprockhoff plan is still a fairly reliable indicator of the current condition.
Just to extend the countries you mentioned which will be covered by this database, I'll shortly be sending Andy some 250 sites details for Sweden in addition to those already on. They will cover passage graves; dysser (dolmens); rock art in Uppland and Bohuslan. It won't cover (because I've got no good data for them) ship settings; stone circles; standing stones. But it's a start.
You also mentioned Denmark. I've got some quite good guides with maps which I picked up during two trips in the 90s. Also photos for about 90 sites which I'll get round to posting one day. Do you want to compare notes?
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
