Hi all,

Just could not help myself but to let you have an initial look at the latest work in progress to the road conditions system. I have been linking all the reported roads to the mapping engine and hence producing a dynamic map of all Un-sealed road status in Australia. Spent the last 4 days on it and still a few more to go. It uses 4 colours being red - closed, orange - caution, green - open and silver as major/unknown/un-reported.

As mentioned it is a WIP and has some of the QLD, SA information. It is dynamic and changes as the road conditions get updated (current as of a few minutes ago). This coupled with the new external updates functions will make a great improvement.

We also are starting to track all road conditions history so we record all changes for every road and will be able to graph and display these results in time. I am starting to work on WA now so if you check back every now and then you will see more roads appearing.

When completed you will be able to use the mapping engine (membership/credits) to allow you to zoom in/out of the reports to see every little road in true vector mapping format. Aso you will be able to enquire on the map and get a text display of the road you click on to tell you the current status (and user feedback - if recorded).

For now to view the map image go to the Road Conditions Index and scroll down the page.
