Member Map Groups
By hotairballoonist in Video Tutorials
This video shows how to separate groups on the member map.
We realize with nearly 1000 pins in our map it can be somewhat of a challenge to use. On the map, you can select the specific groups you want to find. This video shows how to hide the groups you do not want to see on the map so you have only the groups you want to see.

By hotairballoonist in Indianola
This is a copy of official map for the classic. It was downloaded at 1pm Friday July 21st 2023
REMEMBER: This is an additional flight aid. The Paper map is the official map for the event. We have gone to great effort to make this map as accurate as we can. We also make a serious attempt to keep this map updated as often as the official "Paper Map" is amended. However the official event "Paper Map" is the official event map.
IMPORTANT!!! Don't forget to check the "FOLLOW" button for this file so you will be notified when new versions have been uploaded.
This is the National Balloon Classic Paper Map (Digital Version). This is version 1.0 Below are two links to video tutorials that will help download these files to your device. A third link shows the process for viewing your flight tracks in 3D using the 3D PZ KML on the HotAir.app
