+mcgillz Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 One of my TB's is just approaching 40,000 miles and has had a really interesting trip so far. I looked at its trip on the Map option for TBs but the definition is poor. I think Geocaching should offer the possibility for getting a larger high definition map that could be printed so proud TB owners could hang the TB trip on the wall! I suppose anyone could do it using Google Earth, but there must be a simpler way? Quote Link to comment

I tried opening your TB's path in Google Earth, and the virtual globe is too round and can't show the whole path from any one specific angle. Perhaps, you could go to Google Maps, take a screen shot of that map, put your screenshot in a picture editing program, and then draw the lines of its trip. Quote Link to comment
+redants Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Interesting idea! Quote Link to comment
+maxx borchovski Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If we are chatting about changes to the TB map, how about making each of the numbers on the map a click-able link to the log for that point on the journey? Quote Link to comment
+mcgillz Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well i've tried Google Earth and Google Maps but no joy. I am convinced that some enterprising member ( or Cachestore.com) could figure a way to convert the map from Google Earth to a Mercator Projection in high res and make some money. I'd be the first customer! Quote Link to comment

GeoGirls4275 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'm trying to find a geobug that has travelled a lot for a student project, and saw that yours has travelled over 40,000 miles. Can you let me know which bug it is? I'm new to this site, and want to be able to see where one has travelled! Thanks. Quote Link to comment
