    Question GPS Resource

    Sombody was telling me recently about a GPS mapping website where everybody posts their tracks. When I say 'everybody' I don't mean just motorcyclists, I mean the whole GPS community. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

    Keen to hear more about this as my enthusiasm for my website is seriously waning. c.h.r.i.s. mentioned this site http://www.mapmyride.com/ but not sure it is what you meant?

    As long as the routes are routeable (auto or otherwise), else they are not that helpful.

    Nup. Had offers of help but not had time to fully explore them. Maybe when renovations done, CPENG done, yadda yadda etc.

    Yeah that's nice but it's only for poncy iFones. The sort of thing I had in mind was a map to show tracks others had discovered and mapped as opposed to sharing their routes.

    Obviously in the wrong thread mate, go away.

    Actually, I took a closer look at EveryTrail Joe, it's not what I was after, but it's pretty good.

    Here's a teaser look at Terawhiti Station... (not sure whether you need to register)...

    The embedded view is below, click HERE for the browser view.
