Bicycle Routes on Google Earth
Has anyone used Google Earth to describe and share bicycle routes?
Linked it back to web pages? Apparently you need to subscribe to the $US20pa version to draw routes. I would like to find out what was possible and the limitations before committing hours of work to something. Sadly, FOSS doesn't seem to have delivered a workable solution to roll your own. |

Bicycle Routes on Google Earth
This guy has done it
http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ The interface ****s me a bit, and it's not bike-centric, so I'm rolling my own - right now in fact! Hopefully have something ready late next week, I'll be sure to spam y'all about it ;-) Jules |

Yes, I agree about creating routes in that. The instructions are ****e and I found that I really was looking for a node editing capacity. What I am looking at is the network link that Google Earth where you can define a route and GE provides distance, elevation, etc, but the network link provides a description and other information. I know this sort of stuff is supposed to be the ultimate goal of GE, but I think it is going to be a few generations before you can safely bicycle tour with a satellite link back to GE to guide you. Hopefully have something ready late next week, I'll be sure to spam y'all about it ;-) Thanks. Jules |

Bicycle Routes on Google Earth
My commute: ' http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=191669' (%20http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=191669) I had a fair idea (now confirmed!) that it was (on average) more downhill into the city. For some reason the elevation doesn't always load. The satellite images are pretty poor out where I live, but at least the roads are accurate and the distance matches up with the bike computer. -- roshea |
