This google account stuff - is it possible to have a generic - "Oztocsmaps" or something and circulate the password so everyone can log in and add to it?
Then again it would have too many people accessing it some days.

While your walking around with thought bubbles, (people will wonder what you're doing) here's another.
Using google break it down into States. ie OstocmapQld.
That would mean the number of users with a password wanting entry at anytime would decrease a bit.
But if the password for the accounts was the same for all States it would allow those going on longer trips to tap into the different knowledge bases.
Never under estimate the predictability of stupidity.

Just thinking out aloud here...I wonder if members could have their own map associated with their profile that they can fill in all the rides they've done, as a way to keep track and to show off as it were :D

OK - as far as I can make out, you have the option of linking to a URL in your profile...
You could use this to link to your personal map - but you would ALL need to have a Google account/log in.
Feel free to kick off, and we'll see what happens from there. The Middleton Ride is a great starting point.
Cheers, Diesel

There's another option here too... motowhere. Here's a link to a 3 public routes I created as an example.

http://www.motowhere.com/listpaths/by/BigTed

The thing with this is it's motoring in general, anywhere in the world, and you can search by location, road surface, visibility, police enforcement, etc.

I can save my routes in google maps as KML files and add them to google earth but how do you do it in maps?

This is a great resource Diesel. Well done. :clap

Like all good stuff it will evolve into a seriously cool resource.

Look forward to using it as a planning (& budget) tool.

OK - I have finally updated all the OzSTOC RTEs on the Ride Map and Calendar - see link above.

Remember that it is interactive, so click on a destination marker to reveal more detail about the ride. There is also a link back to the pertinent Forum Link for that ride.

Enjoy.

I have probably missed one or two dates - so thanks Alan in advance.   lol

Hi Event Map organizers.   This has become my bible for planning stuff that I want to go to, and then realizing that I can't go for any number of reasons.

Diesel, how about some rides in the Central West N.S.W we have some of the best back roads you will ever find & no cops to boot!! Starting at the Rose Gardens Cafe [Cowra } you can go in any direction & find some GEMS, Re. Bakery's, Pubs, Motor Museum's, Top Dams, Arts & Crafts Shops, Cheap Accomdation & just about anything that takes your fancy.
It would be great to catch up with some fellow ST Club Members, I have given just about all my cards out but not many Club Members out my way. Cheers Candywine.   :hatwave   :rd13

The best way to get a ride organised Candywine is to propose one your self and post it up with a time frame. Then those that are interested willrespond and timings can be finalised.

Otherwise, Diesel, Streak and Saaz (well maybe not Saaz) will be diverting time away from work to organising. We know how much people love to work....

I've put together a new Ride Map for OzSTOC and made it editable for anyone with the link.  It contains the RTEs and Overnighters for the rest of the year and the National Rally for next year.
