vulture1957 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I can't find the posts -- but we were talking a while back about Lucky 7s, and someone had a useful tool that would measure the distances between the waymarks to ensure they were within the .5 or .1 mile. Can someone point me to that tool? Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) Be happy to. https://flopp.net It's what I use for every Lucky 7 in which it's not obvious that all the WMs are within 1/10 mile. It's pretty much obvious how to use it. Here's an example with several WMs and "Lines" filled in: https://flopp.net/?c=52.978359:-122.495612&z=18&t=OSM&f=&m=A:52.977774:-122.495044:0:Inn:ff0000*B:52.977900:-122.493550:0:Fire_Hall:00ff00*C:52.977800:-122.497000:0:Pizza_Hut:0000ff*D:52.977547:-122.495300:0:Hydrant:ffff00*E:52.979133:-122.495500:0:Bench:ff00ff&d=A:C*A:E*A:B They used to have access to a Google URL shortener but Google dropped that utility, so the URLS can get pretty long. For those who are concerned about huge, long URLs, click on this: https://tinyurl.com/y2pms8yf When you've built your map get the link from the "Create Permalink" box further down the page. Keith EDIT: Flopps Maps can even be used to "Fit" WMs within the required distance (161 metres or 805 metres) by creating a centre point and moving it around until everything fits.

vulture1957 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Thanks. I've written it on my page with Lucky 7s. You might want to put this on the forum subject for useful links. Quote Link to comment
