Google Maps

[DaveS]

After Cie's recommendation I've taken a look at Google Maps to see what it could offer us.
I'm not totally sure of its use to us, so I'm looking for ideas, and suggestions as to how we might use it.

One suggestion is to use it to show any events that we have and where they're taking place?
Perhaps some of the dealers?
Cie also suggested a motorcycle car park database. Which sounds an excellent idea.

Like the idea of the dealer locater. Would it be possible to show any ride-out routes recommended by the chaps on here. LB.

Hey Dave! Is that a duff link? my IE aborted...

[DaveS]

Works fine for me.

[MacP]

Hhhhmmm! Clicking the link opens a new window as you'd expect but then up pops a windows error message - as is usual with window errors it is less than helpful! I am the only one who's tried it?

[DaveS]

Sounds like an Internet Exploder problem....
Can you access the Google Maps site?

[MacP]

Yes!

The route idea from Laughing Bob is a good one! We could also include meet ups and ride out locations if we get as far as local meets...

So you can see the maps and click and select stuff?
