Googlemaps Enhancement - Testing

[DaveS]

I'm off again!
Our current forum has a mod that integrates beautifully with Googlemaps.
See here for work in progress... http://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/vbgooglemaphse.php

I've loaded 2 test pointers. They are just test pointers and do not show the proper events!
Comments. Useful? Waste of space?
Ideas for using it?

[BARRIE]

it's great keep it

[DaveS]

Thanks Barrie.

One idea I did have was to use this for Kymmy's suggestion of tried and tested MOT testing stations. The one's where you've been personally and the service has been great.

the site gets better every day, good work dave.

MOT? What's one of them?

I like that, as long as there are multiple maps, and it could be tied into the recommended dealers/service providers, so that if you find a good place for services, you could share that - might be useful for when travelling around

OH GAWD, I had a good idea?? Excuse me whilst I pretend to faint!!!

Can the plots be color-coded, something like good, bad, perhaps a color for recommended trails, another for dealers??

He he... yes they are colour coded.
The only thing I can see as being a problem is that as it fills up it will get slow, but I love the idea of logging some of the green lanes.

They have the same system on the geocaching website and because it gets slow it restricts the number of caches/pointers it shows to a maximum of the nearest 20.
