Re: Magnum P.I. Filming Locations - A Rubber Chicken Guide
Posted: Tue Oct 02, 2018 5:40 am
Hi folks, a number of people have brought up the fact that the photos in the guide stopped working some time ago. This happened because the server the photos were hosted on went away. The good news is that the folks at Magnum Mania are now hosting the photos on the Magnum Mania server. This means the photos will now survive as long as this website does.
After the previous server went away I went through the long process of changing the url for each photo in the guide, and they've been working since then, but only for me since I was the one person who had the up to date google earth .kmz file. This happened long enough ago that I can't remember when it was. Perhaps last year or the year before. After that was completed I intended to finish a number of individual locations that I had left uncompleted for years. But that hasn't happened, so I'm going to release this version of the guide as is, with one location in visible progress. Many other locations were being worked on in a code editor but hadn't made it into the guide in any form yet. There are however 32 new locations that I believe are in the completed state as I intended.
Other than updating the photo links, I haven't worked on the guide in years, so I'm not 100% certain of the state of things. But I think things should be in order.
Here are some of the notes I kept, showing what's new in this version:

Here is the new .kmz file: Magnum P.I. locations 1.6.kmz
For those who haven't used a .kmz file before, refer to either the instructions in the page which James has made, or in my original post.
If someone could please change the 1.5 link to the new 1.6 link on the guide page, I would very much appreciate it! (I haven't been around enough to know who is doing this sort of thing nowadays.)
K Hale - I don't know the answer to your question regarding getting the file onto a phone, as I've never tried that. I know it worked for me on an iPad. Anyone else know the answer to this question?
