The pastor who was in charge of the project wanted to set everything up on his own instead of asking for any help from me, the technical director, so it never quite got up and running. Too bad, since it would have been quite a valuable tool, and I would have enjoyed learning how to build it.

I do maps for a living. But would consider myself a Geographer not a Cartographer.
