| New, SuperDuper Bike Map |
The high-resolution map at this link is extremely large--1.5 Megabytes, or about 30 times the average Downwind of Amsterdam image size. Dial-up will take six to eight minutes.
However, it covers the entire nation to a resolution and correct location of all my bike rides to about 100 meters/yards! You can see every glorious flirtation with the German border, every detour, and every time I found myself in a dead-end and had to backtrack.
Black (sharp traces): where I rode.
Red highlight: rides this month (May 2004).
Green highlight: previous rides (since July 2003).
(Blue: Netherlands borders.)
Ain't technology grand? (And time-consuming...)
(Acknowledgement to mappoint.com for the underlying partial maps, which I pieced together in Photoshop. Traces were recorded on Garmin GPS to typical accuracy of 5 meters, plotted in the wonderful GarTrip software, and simply overlaid in Photoshop.)

Impressive! I see you never made it to the our national forrests on the Veluwe (it's no Yosemite though). I guess you simply can't leave just yet. ;)
