Hi,

I'm looking at getting a new place, and would like to find out how far potential houses/condos are away from the new Sky Train extension or Airport Link stations. Does anyone know where I might be able to find the lats and longs?

Cheers!

Or - does anyone know if there is a site which has them on google maps or the like?

Buy or borrow a GPS with the ESRI map. You can see all the stations.

When is the proposed opening of line - anyone?

I have one - this is why I need the coordinates!

I'm talking about the new stations - extension of the Sukhumvit line and the new airport link.

Does the latest ESRI map have these on? If so, do you know if there is any way I could update mine on my satnav without paying ESRI for a new map?

When is the proposed opening of line - anyone?

the new airport link is meant to begin running on 5th December for the King's Birthday.

I believe the Sukhumvit line extension should be early next year.

The BTS stations are on Google Maps (maps.google.com).

1. Right-click on a station
   
2. Click on “Center map here”
   
3. Near the top right of the screen, click on “Link”
   
4. Copy the text in the field below “Paste link in email or IM” to the clipboard (Ctrl+C)
   
5. Paste the text into a word processor. It will look something like this (coordinates highlighted here by me in red): maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=&ie=UTF8&ll=13.728525,100.534451&spn=0.020574,0.033023&z=16
   
6. The coordinates are after the text “UTF8&ll”

Thanks Maestro - I see the existing stations, but I can't see the new ones - am I missing something?

Google Maps is not up-to-date to the minute. It may take a year or two between updates, I believe.

Does anyone know if there is a Google Maps layer, or something like that for the new stations?

Are we talking about the two new stations Krung Thonburi and Wong Wian Yai? They are already on the map, I see.

No coordinates but maybe some help.

Cheers Gary - can you tell me what the source of the map is? I found a map of the airport link and the extension of the Sukhumvit line, but the stations seem to have different names:

I looked for the link before I posted it and couldn't find it.

have to wait to see if it opens this year
