Thread: The Official 2012 SR20 National Convention Route Planning Thread (Live map!)

NOTE: For general Convention information, see this thread: http://www.sr20-forum.com/sr20-national-convention/49325-2012-convention-info-reunion.html

I've shared a map with you called 2012 Convention, Independence, Ohio.:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=213173740577127821514.0004b873139f5b7fbc608

What you'll need to do with the link above I have provided:

First, click on the GET DIRECTIONS box.

It will ask you for a start point and end point. Please don't be specific; we don't want your street address publicly displayed. A starting city to ending city (Independence, OH) is preferred.

Choose your preferred route you will be traveling. After you've selected your route, scroll down and select "SAVE TO MY MAPS". Then, select the 2012 Convention Map I created.

Once finished, hit DONE. It should save automatically.

If you don't really know how to manipulate Google Maps API, please refrain from editing the routes, colors, pins, etc.

NOTE: As people add routes, this map SHOULD update as you refresh the page.

Note, I've pre-added a few routes. If you're taking an alternate route, we can remove the route I selected for you and you can add/edit your own. If your route obviously isn't added yet, and you know you're coming, go ahead and add it.

Very good Cliff. Me and Shawn definitely need to meet up at our cross point somewhere as we are taking the same route.

Cool, I didn't know you could do multiple routes with Google Maps. I was looking at Zeemaps last night, but it was wonky when trying to change the default routes.

Let's also think about using Google Latitude for those of us who want to share our location. It'll help with coordinating meet-ups.

Agreed. I had added a point on the map where our paths intersect along 80 to Independence. Those of you at points east of where we plan to meet with you folks should add another central point to plan against.

One thing I had failed to mention is that you can add multiple destinations to your specific route if you know you're planning to meet with folks along your route.

Good stuff.

How do I edit/delete the first one? Kinda want to drive through Knoxville instead. Mia route.

Go back to the map, click the red EDIT button, scroll down the left side, click on the pin of the route you want to delete, which will bring up an edit box, and then click delete in the lower left corner of the edit box.

C

Deleted it for you already.

I've also downloaded massive amounts of markers that will be uploaded later this evening. Once I upload them, I'll share the link to where you can use them as custom icons for your routes.

What the date of the convention.
