so fun!
(mods: we'll move this to site news in a couple of days... I want the exposure here for now ;)
I'm excited to show you all RM's latest addition: route maps!
All registered users can now post their favourite routes, including images (if you have a satellite image).
check it out here: http://www.runningmania.com/resources/routes
and let me know what you think!
there probably are bugs... if you find anything that seems wonky or isn't working, post it here and I will fix it.
thanks!
oh, and thanks to all my testers who tried it out and gave me feedback while I was building it. :)

good idea, but maybe make the thread title a bit more descriptive?

That's awesome Holly - thanks for setting this up.
My prediction - this is going to be very, very big - I can see this generating a lot of external traffic.

what are you saying? that people don't read EVERY thread I start? I'm hurt! :P
I know this group... curiosity will bring everyone into a thread with an ambiguous title. lol

Holly, this is so cool! Thanks.
Hey, can I edit my own route or do you have to do it? When I click on "Edit your routes" it doesn't actually go anywhere.
I just wanted to add a note to the Niagara-on-the-Lake route I posted. I wanted to mention that's it's...
21 km out and back (10.5 km each way)
I should probably also mention that there are numerous small parking lots/picnic areas all along the route so people could start and finish wherever they wanted to.

looks cool, but it didn't like the size of my image :p
I want to just export from SportTracks, and upload straight in. If I have to resize, it's too much bother.
Ok, throw things at me now. I'm just a lazy @ss. But seriously, I hate resizing images especially when I can just post the image straight into a training log on the board with no problem.
EDIT: It was 800 x 461

I always read the threads you start Holly But I must say I'm disappointed this has nothing about chocolates or pirates

This is going to be a terrific resource! I'm really excited about it.

when you click on Edit you should then see a list of your routes... what does it show for you?

600 is big enough... anything bigger throws off all the formatting. You don't HAVE to put a picture in with the route, but it certainly is helpful. And if you had a bunch of routes to add, you could resize the pics all at once and it'd take 5 minutes. ;)

Do you want images included, or do you prefer none, to speed up the loading? Or does it even affect the speed the page loads at?

Hi again Holly,
I'm logged in and just tried to edit my route again. When I click on 'Edit your routes' it shows...

Well, you did ask Holly. You said, "there probably are bugs... if you find anything that seems wonky or isn't working, post it here and I will fix it." It really IS a very cool feauture. Thanks. Do I win something if I find a bug, LOL!
Holly, it won't let me edit a route I just entered (though it does allow me to edit one I entered the other day). I'm just pasting the URL here until I can edit the route and post it there.
