So a little recap on whats going on here.
After the brain storm yesterday....
I discovered a link to all the stuff that needs to be done when posting accuratly the route across Canada.
I discovered that my task of creating an Actual map file which can be given as a unit... is harder than i thought. ... Meaning i'll need the assistance from professional cartographers (map makers) who can use all the info i am collecting and bring it all onto a cool map.
.. in the mean time... I'll still google some more to see if i can figure that out on my own.

I discovered the usefullness of using www.EveryTrail.com and posting my actual GPS tracks on that site (tracks from each days travel, as separate entries) .. and also posting onto www.POI-factory.com as it lets me upload the more complete day by day files. .. showing all the different waypoints.

I also discovered that using google maps, i can be creating a folder for each type of point of interest. .. (each type would also go onto www.POI-factory.com) .. as its relevent for the site.

It looks like ww.everytrail.com is a great site to be posting each days travel on it. .. and just having some links on the description linking to get to POI-factory.com.

And showing the Flickr photos.. and placing those important photos on the map.. is helpful too.

And using the Google maps to simply copy and paste all the information from CrazyGuyOnABike journal. .. But i can also share the GPS file on that site too. (but i dont think the webmaster likes it, as that site is just for the actuall trip journals. ... although the GPS tracks would be more helpful.. I guess thats a way to separate it.

...
Actually for some this writing looks like mindless babble.. or head in the clouds babble.. But by chance if it does make sence to you. .. PLEASE contact me, and let me know what area you like to be of help.
As I'm always looking for team members. ...

Some how, someway... there's a way to make this project work.

Cheers,
Sam
