GOOGLE MAPS

[Cormanus]

Nice work, gentlemen.

I wonder if I might bore you with the Cormanus approach:
[li]Ride out the gate with but the vaguest idea of where you're going.[/li] [li]If you get there, either turn around and retrace (not desirable) or keep going in a way that may take you home (preferred).[/li] [li]If you don't get there, enjoy where you got to and then find a way home.[/li] [li]Sit in front of the computer and try to remember where on earth you went and how you got there so you can draw it on a Google Map.
[/li] For what it's worth, I find Google My Maps can be a slightly more sophisticated tool for route planning and drawing.

Yeah, but you're on an island. How can you get lost?

Good point, popgun. You could make sure you head only east or west and the same would be true for you.

If you're going north and it gets too cold, or south and it gets too hot, you may also be lost.

I like your approach, Cormanus. When I retire, that will be my system.

One thing I found useful on my TomTom Rider satnav is the Record function. It records everywhere I go (intentionally or otherwise). Once I have the trip file, I upload it into Tyre to Travel (Windows software) and from there I can export it to Google My Maps (or not, lol).

GPS Tracks is a very good app for the iPhone that will also keep a record of your wanderings.

The Eat Sleep Ride app is also good for that, although I'm not sure you can upload it to Google My Maps because of the volume of data it collects.

If I took that approach I would probably:
A: Get lost
B: Run out of gas
C: Go hungry
D: All of the above

Yes. But, hey, what else is there to do?
