I'm not very wise on all of the technology that is available ... but when I see something like this I get real jealous ... What did you use to do this and where can I get one?

 

Thanks,

It is not too difficult if you know a little bit about java-script programming.

First my GARMIN GPS saved the data and I used the sw with the GPS to save each day's track into a seperate file.

Then I used the google-maps API http://www.google.com/apis/maps/ to create a map (started playing with the examples..).

The poly-point example is where I got the way to draw lines connecting each point together from one day's ride to form the track.

So all you need are:
1) A GPS to record the data
2) The ability to get the data out of the GPS and into a text file that you can put in the form of "points"
3) A web site that you register with google-maps-api
4) a bit of programming knowledge (java script esp).

Oh and unlike several of the other google map hacks out there if you do a VIEW-SOURCE on your browser you can see the java script including the 500 points (that is what I limit each route to) of data that is used to draw the route...


If you were to save that page and replace the key with the one you register and then upload the changed page to the site where you registered the key then the page will work on your site... Then all you got to do is edit the values or number of points.push() to draw your own lines... The fun starts there!!!

Gimme a bit and it will happen

Just have to combine all of the data...

I want to get all of the rest stops and other tidbits too..
