TRIP RECORDS

TRIP ROUTE MAP
We have published our route map, complete with distances and a list of our nightly campsites. The map is included as the first pic in our online Photo Album (follow the link on the right of the blog page).
These maps were prepared using the very good HEMA maps and OziExplorer (PC version), with GPS datalogging from a Garmin Oregon 400t handheld GPS.


GOOGLE EARTH VISUALISATIONS
Links to two Google Earth files are included with this blog entry:

1. one displays the photos from our web album at their location on the map, and
2. the second displays our detailed GPS track as a blue line on the map within Google Earth.

You must have Google Earth installed on your PC in order for these links to open successfully. If you open one, then the other, you will be able to view our detailed GPS track and our photos together on the same map. You may need to zoom in a little to clearly see the blue line of our track route.

ROAD CONDITION PHOTOS

Note also that there are a number of photos in our album (mostly without captions) taken looking ahead out the windscreen. These photos might be useful to anyone considering or planning a similar trip and curious about the road conditions. When viewed in Google Earth, these photos will appear at the location where they were taken.

Tosh & Techo, over & out...
