Testing Results (Day 219) ~AcrossCanadaTrails Beta ver1_0 in zip file



Here's the 1st draft results for the 1st public version of this Free map.

... Well, the results are in.
'Tim Hortons Across Canada' shows up when your 200 meters away. .. So whereever you are in canada, you can simply go to 'Find' then choose 'food and drink' .. and you get a listing of the closest Tim Hortons shop.
.. The purpose of this is simply.. if your lost in the woods somewhere. .. you just need to pull out the 'Across Canada Trails GPS Map' and you'll be able to find your way back home. ... All of the Tim Hortons are open 24hrs. ..
Seriously..
Here's the latest. It looks like all the points are only visable if your 500meters above, for the city/town names and you need to be 200 meters away from a bike shop/tims/info center to see it.
(Fix -show it on more levels - hopefully that works)
..
Some of my 5 cross canada lines dont show up as road/highway .. looks like a dotted line. ..
but the routes that other people did... show up as roads. (navigatable)
..I might even keep it that way? .. and figure out how to make a 'route' for the 5 routes across the country.
I think im limited to size on it.. so what needs to happen is that the route follows closly to roads/trails. .. as previous users have already posted the tracks. .. the challenge is that i dont want EVERYthing to show up when zoom out.. only certain lines (and that should be the 5 recommended tracks. .. the roads dont need to be seen as high.
..
anyway, once more stuff gets in there. ...
Perhaps theres a way that i can simply insert the road map and topo maps... but as separate IMG files.. so when you go and download them.. you can choose which ones to look at ...
(maybe they can be shown only as those maps for that that track?)
any ideas??
... There's more but thats enought for now.
