Home Trip Planning GPS Routes

GPS Routes

With the huge popularity of GPS's for travelling, it makes sense to have a central repository for the tracks, so I've started this section of the site. As we get more files, I'll create a database to hold everything. If you want to write the php code for the interface, let me know! I'll even pay a little...

If you would like to add your GPS routes, fill in the "Routes to Ride" form here and you will receive an auto-confirmation of your email from my email address. Attach the track files to a reply to that confirmation (so we can match up the tracks to the info!), and send them in.

(Yeah I know it's a bit clumsy, but it's better than nothing and will do for now! Please bear with me. :)
