Steady As She Goes

Route - Complete

These are static maps of the route I am planning to take. They were made using ESRI ArcMap and a variety of free files downloaded off the internet. There are of course caveats - old roads may have disappeared and new roads will have (hopefully) been created.

Over the course of the ride I hope to update this map and the individual maps with the actual path as recorded by an animal tracking device.

There have been some difficulties coverting the shapefile of the route into a viable Google Earth file. There are issues with running a tour along unconnected line segments in a placemark folder. Additionally, Google Earth relies on the directonality of the GIS polylines (startnode, endnode) to determine where to begin and end a tour. With a route that is 7,500 there are also concerns about eye/camera placement for tours - I haven't been able to figure otu how to set this. It's all a matter of time and screwing around with the files in both ESRI ArcMap and Google Earth. There is a link below to the kmz file for the entire route.

KMZ - Full Route - 06_01_08

Full route through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. The roads are from the Digital Chart of the World which is adequate fo r this purpose, but somewhat out of date. I will link to a blog entry about file creation when I get a chance.
