Jeremy Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 During boring coding sessions I have taken a few moments to work on this page: http://www.geocaching.com/map/live.aspx (requires flash) It is pretty straightforward but is a neat way to visualize log entries. Even though the url says it, the data isn't exactly "live" Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That's pretty cool Jeremy. This is fun because I can look at pictures on the trip route I am taking next week and see what caches I might be interested in doing. How far back do the pictures go. Is it a one day thing? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I grab the last 1,000 photos only. That already makes for a long load time. Link to comment
+Shaggy of Mysteries Inc Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That is so cool! Yeah more toys, I love toys. I wish I could do things like that when i'm bored. ~Shaggy~ Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Looks pretty fun! Somebody has been looking at the Degree Confluence Site, I see. Jamie Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That feature would rock for locationless caches! Show all waypoints already logged for each cache (each cache could have its own map) Link to comment

Forum Posting Privilege Revoked For Doing Nothing More Than Hosting a Civil Conversation. Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Wow. The map certainly indicates how popular geocaching is in the United States and Europe. Link to comment
+GrizzlyJohn Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 So are you only picking up the latest logs with pictures? Link to comment
+Tharagleb Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Neat, now quit goofing off and get back to work. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Cool!! I can see a lot of neat uses there. Most of which would have the database straining......... but cool! Link to comment
Jeremy Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 So are you only picking up the latest logs with pictures? Technically I'm picking up the latest pictures with logs. I haven't been to the confluence project in a long time. I've been looking for a replacement for the travel bug maps and came across this deal a few months ago. I'm working with the developer to allow tb style features to track a bug's progress. This was originally used for flikr. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Cool!! I can see a lot of neat uses there. Most of which would have the database straining......... but cool! Actually it generates an xml file so the load is only once in a while. We have one idea to have a map that actually refreshes occasionally so you can watch new logs pop up on the map as they are posted. Now it's getting to that database strain moment but still not so bad. Link to comment
+badlands Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Pretty Cool! Thanks for all the hard work. Link to comment
