Hello all,
My name's Jason, I live aboard a Dutch barge style narrowboat called Bristol
Fashion (currently moored near a good a pub in Harefield) and I've not posted
to this list before.
But I'd appreciate your opinions on a boating website idea I've been mulling
over a project idea for some time...
A website which incorporates a database and either Google maps or Google Earth
to enable travellers to plan and record journeys. You'd
mark your progress with a pin on a map. At every stop you make you
could upload photos and write a blog entry about that place. It
could be used to plan trips, create a log of a journey, keep you in
touch with other travellers and be applicable to a person on any kind
of journey.
Importantly, the code would be made "open source"
meaning anyone could take it and insert it into their website and use
it for their own purposes. I'd use it to create a boaters' log site;
someone else might use it to track cyclists or walkers.
I've got
the web design and database skills to do this and the free time next
year. Any opinions/ideas/suggestions? And importantly, does something
like this already exist because I don't want to reinvent it. Please send me
your comments!
