Expeditions:

Map, courtesy of Nathan Woodruff. You have to zoom out because there are hashes on both sides of the Atlantic.

Expedition list generated automatically by AperfectBot. Now that this appears to be working well I have hidden my old hand-edited list, which was getting tedious to maintain anyway.

I have updated the program for you to search your Expedition List. I've made changes for Robyn, Benjw, Sourcerer so it wasn't that difficult to make a change for you too. Your map should show up on the next time the program runs. I will also look into the scale algorithm so you don't have to zoom out any more either. --NWoodruff (talk) 10:27, 25 August 2014 (EDT)
