Pinball Map App

[mrgamesmaster]

I met up with a fellow pinhead at the local Tilt and he enlightened me to the fact that pinballmap.com has an app. He had it on his iPhone, but just checked the site myself and it's available for Android as well.

Here's Apple's link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/portland-pinball-map/id359275713?mt=8

And here's Android's: https://market.android.com/details?...arch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wYm0iXQ..

It's a very convenient way to find whatever machines are in the area.

Hopefully PAPA will have a pinball finder in their app they're going to create off the back of their Kickstarter. Pinball map is all well and good, but it's only good for those cities it currently supports.

I have noticed there's quite a few cities it supports including my area, so it'll be my map of choice for now.

Pinside has a map that is pretty good too.

I've found some good pins with this one as well:

They list exactly eight cities. Just sayin'.

Nice, found a few more potential locations in my area.

I'm the admin for the Colorado portion of pinballmap.com so if anyone has any questions about the site, let me know.

I need to update that map for my local pinballs. Heaps of pinballs around me, but not all present on this map.

Im dying to go to a new place I seen on the map, also check the listing date as I know theres a place plotted near me that has all new pins since the posting date.

Did you try changing the region perhaps? I see 33 myself. I do encourage you to use others also of course.

I was strictly going by the description in the iTunes App Store. I can't imagine why the developers wouldn't give a complete list (or at least say "and more".)

Seems you were just looking at the Update Info. I can guarantee you that there's a lot more than 8 cities in there. Check it out.

Nope. The full description also only lists 8 cities. That would be a wise change for the next update.

'Description
Pinball machine locator for Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Boston, the San Fransisco Bay Area, and British Columbia.
...'

Well, here's the regions I have after pulling up the app: Canada (British Columbia, Toronto), Boston, Colorado, Washington (Spokane), Florida (Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando), California (Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles, Bay Area), New York (NYC, Rochester), Texas (Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin), Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh), New Mexico (Albequerque), Iowa, Ohio (Columbus, Cleveland), Nebraska, Missouri (St. Louis), Michigan (Grand Rapids), Wisconsin (Milwaukee), Maryland (Ocean City, Baltimore), Georgia (Atlanta), Illinois (Chicago, Champaign), Oregon (Portland)

While the cities you mentioned are indeed there, there's more than just those featured in there.

In the Android version you need to go into preferences to see the list of cities but all of those cities are definitely there.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm an iOS person myself now ever since I had a couple Kindle Fires go on the fritz on me, so didn't know about that.

Thanks for the current list.

Pinballmap utterly neglects New Jersey. The Pinside map, however, intrigues me. There's apparently a TZ near me! I gotta go check it out.
