Maps

I think the history that accumulated here is quite funny:

  • Oh dear, back on 9/8/16 I said: “There will be maps, lots of maps … when I’ve sorted out the technology of that!”
  • Then on 23/8/17 I had got as far as: “Well I’m getting to understand a bit more about gpx and other route data formats and different ways to create maps. For now the big achievement is: …
    A map of the whole journey as captured so far. (I tried to update this at intervals and it does have the whole journey.) …
    … But sadly, as of 23/8/17, I haven’t got much more up here by way of maps.  But I am working on it!”
  • And some time after that, I did get a single, interactive map of the whole journey working. That’s the one in the dropdown menu below “Maps” …
  • but of course today, 10/8/19, that’s not working. Back to the drawing board!

Now, 2.viii.26, the tenth anniversary of setting out on the pelerinage, I am starting the map fight again and this, for now, is the result: a rather minimal but zoomable and scrollable map of the entire journey that uses open street map map and doesn’t make me hostage to Gurgle/Google. It starts showing Dartmouth and Halifax in Nova Scotia which is rather confusing but if you are patient it does then show you the correct map!

You can see maps of each day via the days page.
