I think that is what he means. Say you live along the border of Kansas and Oklahoma, you click on the map in that area and it shows which beams are hitting that area.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but that would be helpful. I guess it might take a separate page for each spotbeam satellite, but maybe not.
What OSU said.
Ok, I take it as a clickable map that brings up that region with all the beams. Like I said above.
I was visualizing a specific geographic location with spotbeams listed, not a region. But I don't know if that's possible with current technology and site resources. Or maybe something like antennaweb, with a zipcode entry for input, and spotbeams as an output.
Well speak up on what you had in mind
I don't mean to beat the horse too much but what *I* had in mind was the Google Earth KML files. Would be a lot easier than to code a clickable map of the spotbeams for the web.

As of right now they are all separate KML files for each beam with coverage area far larger than even a 1 meter dish.... not for the average Joe trying to see whats in his area. You will have to ask nelson61 for access to the KML files.
Should be fairly easy to take the map data nelson has and convert it to a special GOOGLE maps
