Thanks everyone for the kind comments, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for
sharing it on social media Ewen and Graeme, Ewen’s FB post has dominated the
traffic to the blog today. :) Two small comments…
Re: “I was prompted to think about steep Alpine grades and cyclists... It's an
issue I don't think OpenStreetMap can handle as we don't map the steepness of
grades.“
Most cycling apps overlay OSM data and routes etc on a digital terrain model to
create slope profile drawings for their routes. You can see a good example of
this on the Gippsland section on the Vic gravel route here…
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38337498. There are definitely some sections
that would require some hard bike-pushing both up and down hill.
Re: “how in the hell do you get to Nelson and back from Mallacoota? ”
Yes, it’s definitely an impractical route! Stay tuned for the next installment.
I suspect that some parts of the route will stay the same no matter where you
start or finish. If so, it would create a map that looked like tributary
streams feeding into a major river (the shared route). I’ve got to explore this
a lot more and work out how to display the results best. Shall be interesting!
Thanks again everyone, it couldn’t have been done without all of the work done
by the OSM community. Cheers Ian
