We would like to say a big mahalo goes to Ben for his continued hard work he puts to make all the graphics on the map possible and dedication to keeping this map available to the public to access and use.
As of 5/1/2021, the map has been viewed over 79,000 times and viewership from all over the world has been logged according to general statistics/demographics reviewed by Ben on Saturday morning, May 1st.
We are working on another article covering more the back story of the map and also showing the hard work and also fieldwork he does behind the scenes to ensure the map is well maintained and updated regularly.
The monthly update to the Islands of Maui County Mile Marker Map is currently being finalized and details from that update will be released in a separate post.
If you have any requests or changes that need to be done to the map, please email us, and will we forward it to Ben to review. Again this map is updated frequently.
