Google Maps

Perhaps I'm look at google too much, but I am testing another feature... See http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=57.218121,-2.441711&spn=0.65731,1.691895&t=p&z=9&msid=108881264762453410561.0004508fef83ce76a9aa5

 

This map should show all the runs and races that Cosmics do, at least in Aberdeenshire, when it's finished.  For a limited time only I have allowed anyone to edit the map.  We can add start points, photos and ultimately, run routes, although with google's limited mapping quality that may not be much use.  As usual, comments welcome, including if you know of better tools.

 

I think this would offer a good overview of run locations to new comers, and should be easy to integrate into the website when it's ready.

More new features - google calendar

Here's another test...

A google calendar with cosmic runs and races.  I have removed features that make it look like a month-view calendar, so comments appreciated. Is it any use? Is it better or worse than what we have?
I know the maps link doesn't work. It would if I put the postcode in the where field, but not if I put the grid ref in 'where'.
Here's the link: http://79.170.40.171/cosmics.org.uk/content/goog_cal.htm

This is a link to the iCal file for both Tues and Sat runs and races.  It should work better than the CSV file in the previous post, but no guarantees... http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/3upuvlpkirj48kio104qj0nuf8%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Race Calendar

Here is a new test feature...

To add Ewens list of Saturday runs and races to your Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, or other calendar, import this file. (Or use this link http://79.170.40.171/cosmics.org.uk/content/SatRunsJun08.CSV)

If you find this useful, add a comment or tell me. If it's popular, I will add a file for Tuesday runs, and I'll do it every time Ewen issues new dates.
