Hey Andrew, et. fellow wankers,Long time listener, first time caller. I've got a site for you that I've been working on for a while. It's targeted towards runners, but bikers and hikers use it as well. There are now more than 27,000 routes mapped by users (not with GPS, but just clicking the map). http://runthere.com
Some routes: Stanford Dish Loop - http://runthere.com/routeview.php?rtnum=253 Boston Marathon - http://runthere.com/routeview.php?rtnum=245 A nice place to walk your dog in Istanbul - http://runthere.com/routeview.php?rtnum=26685 -=Leo On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 2:33 PM, Andrew Johnson < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I was wondering if anyone can point me at some good hiking trail and report > sites, so that I can index them to my map.
