Hi CheBeef, no not really thought about how its going to become a reality yet haha. I'm classing the riding as the easy bit as I'm comfortable with that, and the techy stuff is into the unknown for me...I don't even know what DWG format is. The river Thames vector file sounds very intersting though so I'd appreciate having a look at that.
I have a few friends who said they'd help but nothing is finalised at this stage, I was just hoping to overlay the gpx's onto a map in some way, any help more than welcome and full credit will be given. I'm up for experimenting with different sizes and formats so we'll see.
When I was coming back from Brentwood last week I found an A-Z in the road, and as I have one already, I thought after I'd done the Piccadilly line I'll take them apart and patch them altogether into a big map, and I thought I'd colour in the gpx routes on there. It will be childhood 2.0, I can't remember the last time I did any colouring in! Also this old school 'analogue' sellotape and crayon version will give me an idea of the size of map at a resolution detailed enough to have each street name visible. I know its going to be big, and that won't include the outer limits to Amersham etc but it will give some idea of size at least.
