Maps!

Ive slowly been working on project for school, mapping bike trails with google maps. Its taken me forever to figure out the code, but ive got most of it figured out and finally have something to show. I only have data for swanson and tranquility, and i still have to add in things like trail head markers, and a text area on the right side of the map to display trail info. But its enough to show around and get some feedback from the people who ride these trails.

we could go walk swanson also and get some better readings. I could also ask the guy that is at Jewell alot if he would give you ha\is gps readings out there. He has a screen shot of the trail that is really good. but the google maps format works alot better

yeah, im going to have to ask thor for gps data for the other trails, i dont have time to do them all. hopefully in the end i can give them some maps that they would find usefull.
