The initial preview of a new GT Riders Google Map is now viewable… Its aimed at serving multiple purposes;
- Providing a centralised, geographically correct resource for GT Riders recommended accommodations, restaurants, pubs etc
- Providing online, illustrated maps of highways and loop rides
- Providing online, illustrated maps of towns within the GT Riders Website Network
NB: Shows temples, pubs, hotels, restaurants, hot springs, barber, scenic shots etc.
Click on a few of the icons (temples are nearly all done) and note that there is an image on most, and links to more information on many…
Online examples include;
- GT Rider: regional view, need to zoom in on a location.
- Highway 1148: click on the road, click on the Landscape Icon
- Highway 1149: click on the road, see the video
- Chiang Rai
- Mae Sariang
- Nan
- Fang
We can illustrate any Highway or Loop ride, using images already contained in GT-Rider posts…
This is being followed up (in February 2010) by an upgrade to the Forum software that will provide the ability to insert video clips into Trip Reports.
