Hi Phil, Cool site! I'm of course interested because in addition to being a Flash developer I'm also very much into traveling, camping, hiking, canoeing and the outdoors in general.
I think that the user interface could certainly be helped with a Flash front end, eliminating the need to switch between pages, interacting smoothly with the maps, possibly adding videos, etc... Not that all that can't be done with Ajax and some Flash, but an all Flash site just makes me happy. I would take a look at using Yahoo Maps for this as they are Flash based, and I've found that the quality of their satellite imagery is better than Google maps. It would also be extremely cool if you could get topographical maps in there somehow as well. Maybe team up with Garmin or one of the other GPS makers to provide vector topographical maps. Also a web based mapping program for outdoor adventures that allows one to set way points, routes, etc... on the website and have those download to your GPS would be absolutely killer. You guys are certainly on to something here. Keep up the good work. -Chris On 12/20/06, phil dupre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello All, > > I'm an avid traveler who has climbed Mt.
