Google Earth HAM repeater locations?

I posted the following question at alt.ham-radio and somebody there
recommended I try alt.satellite.gps to see if anyone here has an
answer:
I am new to HAM, just got my license and then a handheld radio a few
months ago. I'm interested in the repeater concept and the coverage.
I know there are a bunch of repeaters in the Bay Area where I live.
I'm wondering if anyone has made any addons (or whatever they're
called) for Google Earth showing the location of the repeater
antennas?
If there is not, I might consider making something if I could get a
listing of those repeater antennas with their coordinates.

Try going to www.poi-factory.com They have a repeater data for
downloading into your gps.

Went to that site to check it out and found some files but
"The location is the general location of the city or town, not the
actual repeater location."
I am hoping to find the coordinates of the antennas.

I tried asking a couple of years ago if they would tell me where the
Internet-connected digital-amateur-radio-traffic repeaters were but,
to my surprise, apparently you have to have a need to know to be told.

You may be out of luck. I know of some repeater owners that do not want
the specific location of the repeater known for security purposes.
