Hi all Here is a list with additional services for the Search Web function I have been playing with, and some tips for the default ones.
The idea is to keep a list on the wiki, I'm on it, but for now I also want to share it on the mailing list. ... may be not everyone reads the wiki ;-) Enjoy it and don't doubt to contribute yours :- ) ----------------- To edit, and add services to the drop-down menu click on -Configure Services - . then you can copy and paste the Name and its URL from this list. Those that are already included in QMS are marked with (*) although here they could appear with some variant. *Peakfinder (*)* Name: Peakfinder URL: https://www.peakfinder.org/?lat=%2&lng=%1&ele=%3&azi=0&zoom=5 Hints: As DEMs are not very accurate, sometimes the summit itself could hide your view,. To avoid this you can raise the viewpoint 10m by adding to the url &off=10 *Waymarked trails (*)* Name: Waymarked trails URL: https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#routelist?map=13!%2!%1 Hints: Clicking on the names of the list opens additional information about the trail and you can download the track. In the upper menu you can change to get Cycling routes, MTB routes,... *Wikiloc* Name: Wikiloc (*) URL: https://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/map.do?lt=%2&ln=%1&z=13 Hints: this lists all activities Name: Wikiloc Skitours (*) URL: https://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/map.do?lt=%2&ln=%1&z=13&act=40,17 Hints: This pattern filters skitour and snowshoe activities ,.you can follow this sample to get other activities by changing the value act=40,17 ,or add other filters, for example : Name: Wikiloc MTB URL: https://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/map.do?lt=%2&ln=%1&z=13&act=2 Hints:: This filters MTB activities. When usin filters you will be asked to log in .. *MeteoBlue (*)* The default URLs point to the web page in English , but you can change it easy . Eg: Replace /en/ by /es/ in the url and it would lead to the Spanish version: Name: MeteoBlue 7 days URL: https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/forecast/week/%2N%1E Name: MeteoBlue Meteogram (5 days) URL: https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/forecast/meteogramfive/%2N%1E Notes : one of my favorites :-) Name: MeteoBlue Multi model URL: https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/forecast/multimodel/%2N%1E Name: MeteoBlue Map URL: https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/webmap/index/%2N%1E?level=surface&zoom=8 Hints:: once on the site you choose the type of map to display: precipitation, wind, .. and you can see the evolution by hours All these can be found in a drop-down menu once in the web page. So, you can remove some of them if you need a shorter list. *Weather: Ventusky (*)* Name: Ventusky URL:https://www.ventusky.com/?p=%2;%1;6&l=rain-3h Hints: Very clear. Once in the web you can choose the type of map to display: precipitation, wind, etc and you can see the evolution by hours. Clicking on a point displays a weather table. *Webcam travel (*)* Name:Webcams URL: https://webcams.travel/map/#lat=%2&lng=%1&z=12 Hints: if you don't see webcams near the chosen point, try zooming out with the mouse wheel. *Rome2Rio* This website looks for public transport between two points, and gives you alternative routes with information about stops, transfers, schedules, and operators phone numbers and websites... very impresive. It usually returns good info, but sometimes I have got some nonsense. Name: Transport r2r URL: https://www.rome2rio.com/es/map/Bilbao/%2,%1 Hints: You must replace Bilbao with the name of your town or city. If the name is composed use hyphens, e.g.: Selva-di-Val-Gardena. You can also use your home coordinates e.g.: 43.164,-1.236 *Transport Públic de Catalunya* Name:Transport Públic GenCat URL:https://mou-te.gencat.cat/index.html#/ca/transportProper/%1/%2 Hints: This is a local service for the Catalonia region. It looks for bus stops near the given point. Once in the web you can consult lines, timetables and A-B routes. If you live in Catalonia you could buid a url similar to r2r from your home to the given point. *GogleMaps driving routes* Name:G-Maps Drive URL: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=Bilbao&destination=%2,%1&travelmode=driving Hints:You must replace Bilbao with the name of your town or city. If the name is composed replace spaces with +, e.g.: Selva+di+Val+Gardena.

Once in G-maps you can use StreetView function. *GogleEarth web* Name:G-Earth URL:https://earth.google.com/web/@%2,%1,1000a,0d,35y,0h,0t,0r Hints:Contributed by JOSEPV .For now it only opens with Google Chrome browser..(.google things :-P ) (...)
