Indiana Updates - Bedford M60A0
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I knew that was coming... BTW, if I could find a way to convert addresses into GPS I might consider it. I can basically get addresses from GPS, but I havent seen it the other way around...

It's not automated, but MS Streets and Trips has a tool that gives the LatLon wherever the cursor is placed. There is something similar in Virtual Earth, and as a minimum you can center the image and the URL imbeds the LatLon.

Given a choice of one, I would rather have LatLon. I can place these on a map unabiguously - and automatically - and I'll FIND a way to get there. When I try to plot street addresses I average about a 10% error rate where the address is not recognized because of overlapping municipal/postal town designations, rural areas without individual lot numbers, references to Main Street without noting North Main or South Main, and so forth.

I think you ought to include the LatLon in the Registry when given or available. If some don't have it, so what?

Neil,

I take Google Earth and pretty much drag the Icon over my target. Sometimes it takes a few tries since it likes to default to a street, but generally I get a pretty good LAT/LONG. It is especially helpful for those AFV's located way off the recognized roadways.

Kurt Said:

I had a very frustrating experience with the Collegedale TN M48A5. The address given on the Memorial web page didn't explain the park was quite a bit off the road and hidden by a mini-mall. Satellite recon was no good since that area is one of the many "Hinterlands" that are not in High-RES mapping so my focus was on a street address. Driving and trying to read building numbers (if even visible) is quite frustrating, especially since I do this solo. Compound this with dense traffic (It's real close to the "Little Debbie" Bakery) and roads which don't allow for easy turn arounds make it even worse. I wasted almost an hour driving around until I found her. Only reason why I didn't give up was I knew she was there based on the web site. To be honest if it was an M59 or M114 (Sorry Roy) I probably would've quit and continued on to my next vehicle, since I usually try to string as many together as possible when traveling. I agree with Kurt, if available, and confirmed, a LAT/LONG would be nice. If you decide to do this I have quite a good list of confirmed grids (Not just M60's either).

Neil,

The address is 2020 19th Street in Bedford.

I got about the same coords as Joe did - a little different in Google Earth (where the tank itself shows up quite well, BTW).

38.857482 -86.499128

The S/N 1780 was a little dim on the front, but I checked the back deck area to make sure - all matched.

The coords for the M47 at Crane are: 38.870804 -86.834914 (this area is too low-res, but that's the tank sitting there).

I'm open to suggestions on how, where I should incorporate coordinates & in what format in the current listings format. For example:

BEDFORD
Indiana ARNG Armory, 2020 19th Street
M60A0 USA out SN 1780 1
