ATS Blog

I created a quick entry on the Urban Actions and Issues blog to test the Google map Adam helped us create. It worked out quite nicely and provided the functionality I needed. I was able to add photo examples to the entry, some text and the lat and long provided the mapping data. This weekend I want to finish the stops on the tour of Richmond. This means that I will need to add an entry for each neighborhood in Richmond that we visited.

As I look at the map, I think that I need to create a separate category called Richmond Tour so that all of the entries related to the tour can flow together. The titles of the entries should also not be specific to the topic in the entry, but perhaps to the neighborhood or location which they describe.

Now, that Adam has me interested in all of this, I've been poking around the web for ways to get my waypoints off of the Garmin GPS. [This is all very new to me!] I found a few products that seem interesting:

1. GPS Connect
2. GPS Babel - this is only has a command line interface though

It seems that there is less than optimal support for GPS on a Mac. I'm looking for a quick little gui interface on a Mac that is hopefully open source. It would be nice to have an export to Google Earth too. It looks like Garmin has promised Mac support in some of their products. So, we'll see how that goes.
