Deb and Stephen’ Trip

Google Maps are one of the things I have been playing around with for my Masters so I used our itinerary as a source of data to play with.

This has the added advantage that I can write one, on–going ‘letter’ for everyone instead of lots of letters
— or asking people to photocopy and pass on which never works.

Kids can still expect postcards :-)

Using the maps

Blue pins — show final destinations

Aqua pins — show sites visited

Yellow — is the highlight colour

Blue links — link to a place on the map

Aqua links — link to a diary entry for that date on a new page
Each diary page has Previous, Contents and Next links in the top right and bottom right corners

Troubleshooting the maps pages

The pages can be a bit slow as they are being created dynamically and I haven’t optimised them yet.

Google Maps use XML and JavaScript so

  1. JavaScript must be turned on in your browser
  2. Your browser must support XML — which means using a fairly recent one
    Google supply a list of supported browsers here

I know there is a bug in Firefox sometimes when you double click to centre a map.
— I don't know what causes it, how to fix it, or if the problem belongs to me, Firefox or Google Maps :-(

If you find any other bugs, please let us know (but they won't be fixed until we get back)
— our normal email addresses will continue to work
