Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the quick response.
1. I see what you mean, but I still think the tabulation on the web site is much better as it's easier to view and shows approx. times as
well which are often not related to distances for more difficult tracks.
2. Yes I think just having the latest few would be a good compromise. Even if it was based on time (like comments from the last year for example assuming anything older than that which is useful is already incorporated in the main notes).
3.As above, but often the replies are more informative than the comments (often answers to questions). So I think they are just as relevant.
4.Thanks
5. Cool. I'm not really interested in logging so much as just seeing visually where I have been to help "get your bearings".
6. Yes I forgot you could submit
places on the web site. I guess what made me think of this was that often when I'm at
places I have my iPad with me and could type something up whilst there. The enthusiasm to do so evaporates for me when I get back to the PC and the daily grind. I have used an app called Pushpin for adding similar data to OSM in the past. So for example while I was waiting for my lunch at a Cafe on the Great Ocean Road I could input all the businesses I could see nearby from the table, as
well as some
public toilets and other facilities. This would also make adding photos very easy
7. I know what you mean. This isn't something for the app, few GPS tracks are suitable without editing. The difficulties of using the "user treks" on the web site has always made me steer clear of it.
8. Cool
I guess I was hoping the app was as much a planning tool as an on-road tool. And by that I mean planning whilst on the road more than whilst at home. So for example; whilst on a 3 week trip, sitting in
camp and deciding where to go over the next few days (whilst already being in the outback without internet) the app could be a user friendly tool to do so.
