To all of you who had a hand in bringing this new service to AERC, my hat's 
off to you.  It's very cool.....
And to ride managers who have not yet submitted their coordinates, it's 
easier than I realized.  Just download Google Earth and find your ride camp 
site, then submit the coordinates to Bob Morris.

Subject: [RC] AERC rides mapped from the online calendar


> The AERC Technical Committee has provided a new feature that allows the 
> display of the location of some rides on a map using the online calendar.
>
> The new feature is accessed from the custom ride calendar at
>
> http://www.doublejoy.com/erol/Calendar/ridesCUSTOM.asp
>
> This interface allows selection by time period, state, distance, and 
> region for the AERC calendar.
>
> Locations are shown for those rides where latitude/longitude coordinates 
> have been supplied by ride managers or riders.  If you have or can obtain 
> coordinates for rides that are not available now, please email them to Bob 
> Morris at bobmorris@xxxxxxxxx
>
> This feature uses the Google API and is the due to a lot of effort on the 
> part of Russ Humphrey and Bob Morris of the committee.
>
> Planned additional features include showing rides nearest to your home 
> location.
>
> Several things to note.  This is a work in progress and we would 
> appreciate your feedback.  It's been tested for Internet Explorer, 
> Mozilla, and Firefox browsers.
>
> The application can't handle displaying more than 100 ride locations at a 
> time on a map.  Don't try to display the whole country and expect to see 
> all the rides.  We are still working on this.
>
> Sometimes a portion of the map will fail to display.  If that happens - 
> try refreshing your browser.  This may be caused by heavy traffic to the 
> Google map server.
>
> The submit button is off the bottom of a normal display so once you've 
> made your selection - scroll down and click "normal".
>
> Be sure to read the directions to the right of the map display once it 
> comes up.  You can zoom in/out and drag the map to different areas.
>
> There is more help in date format and other use of the interface as you 
> scroll down the entry page.
