Hey Guys.Thanks for all the advice. Ok ive finally figured out how to use GoogleMaps in the way i wanted from the beginning.I agree with all you guys regarding dependence on GPS,hell thats why i dont have a god damn clue how to use it lol,any way the main reason i wanted to use it is because it does serve a purpose,i used GoogleEarth to give me a detailed version of the tracks and routes i want to ride based on what looks good from a birds eye view prospective,i dont want to end up on endless motorways or boring roads and miss proper trail ridding along my journey. GoogleEarth/Maps although a pain can help in choosing the right roads the right scenery and a rough plan on how to do it....and thats it,everything after needs less rigidity,have a route but be flexible and pay attention to whats going on around you....im with you guys:mchappy: I guess the fact im doing such a long trek solo i want to make sure i dont f$%k up bier
