After my first punting trip I have been dreaming up a web site that makes finding places where I can sample the locals easy.
After my first trip to Hong Kong I redoubled my efforts to make this site realty due to how much time I spent planning how to get to the places I wanted to visit. A bro here described my Hong Kong trip as "punting the entire SAR".
After a couple years of development, and getting some feedback during an alpha phase the site is finally in a state where I feel comfortable sharing it. This is the first site of my own creation I feel comfortable sharing.
Here is a screen shot of the map for Hong Kong. A link to the site itself is after this little guide.

The site will export waypoints in a KML file which can be opened in Google Earth on a PC, or opened in the Maps application on modern smart phones. GPX files are a more recognized format across a broader spectrum of GPS devices and apps.
From the Atlas page you have a view of where all the places are. You can search for a particular place using the panel to the left, or just zoom into the area you wish to find places in.
Clicking an icon will open up a window with information about the place. For more information, click on the (See More) link.

This will open a window with the full information of the place.
In most of these in Hong Kong we have included links to 141 to see the current girls for that place.

SSA is not meant to be a replacement for local sources of information (such as 141). No global site could hope to be as up to date as a site dedicated to a local area.
Also, most places have a high rotation for girls. Whereas SSA is not focused on the girls, but on the buildings they are in (or streets they walk). So on every building we try to provide links to get more information about the available girls and details of the location (general opening closing, things to watch for, etc).
If you decide the selected place is one you would like to visit click on the "add to favorites" link (the star)
After adding a handful of places as a favorite, click on the favorite’s link on the top menu.

This will display a map with all of your favorite places.
There are links above the map to link directly to a kml, or download a kml or gpx file.

If you are on a pc and have Google earth installed you can open a KML inside Google earth.
If you are on a mobile phone with a Google Maps app click "link to kml" and it will open in the map (this only seems to work for the default android browser or dolphin).

Clicking on the bubble will provide more information about the place.

If you do happen to have a data connection, you can even get a street view to see where you are trying to get to.

Here is a
direct link to view all the places in Hong Kong.
Because this is a beta, there is a control in place to how many memberships are given out (due to bandwidth).
If you would like to join the beta and get access to this tool please request an invite
here.
In the second box just state you read this from 141 and you should have an invite sent in under 24 hours.
I hope people find this useful. Feel free to give any comments or suggestions to improve it.
