Plakias Map
« on: September 03, 2006, 05:40:12 PM »
You may have seen that I have started working on the Plakias map.

It uses Google Maps and places an overlay of places in Palakias over the top.

You can see the map here.
Plakias Map.

If would be great if we could get more places added to it. I can't remember exactly where everything is so I need your help.

If you feel like helping take a look at this article.

Thanks,

Paul

P.S Is Ali & Daves shop right? Is it a tad further up?

Lots more places added now. Starting to look a little crowded!

Thanks to John Page & John R for their assistance.

There is also a link to the map at the top of the page now as well.

The future? A 3d interactive Plakias created from all our Photos.
Not as far away as you might think. Photosynth.

Wow Ploppy - I did nothing - just gave you one coordinate which you fixed for me. All the thanks are for you in managing this super useful project. May look a bit crowded but things get better when one zooms in. Terrific job.

I just think this map is SO good. Congratulations are just not enough for Ploppy (alright with some help as well) Ploppy DO seek me out for a Mythos or two after my arrival 26/27 Sept. I reckon Tourist companies would pay big money for something like this and it really makes me proud to be a minor part of this superb forum.

For me , one zooms in and then uses the menu at the left and the overcrowding problem becomes insignificant with the map moving from place to place at the clickof a mouse.

Just think - in just under 3 weeks time I'll be able to do all that on the ground  for real - counting .................

Ploppy - I'm capable of walking past my wife in the street and not noticing (Pathetic cause she is beautiful) so if you see me then grab me and demand those Mythos from me. And for the rest of this forum - please don't all pretend to be Ploppy.

Thankyou for the kind words John. We usually go to Medousa for a few meals so we are bound to meet up even if we don't see each other on the street.

As for the icons, one can make them smaller in Google Earth but G Maps doesen't honour this yet along with folders. I could make new separate icons but I think I'll work on some articles first and some links between the articles and the map.

Thanks Dotty

If you feel like buying me a Mythos then common decency dictates that I don't refuse such a gesture    Whatever the consequences

Nice try John - maybe with curlier hair, and more of it ....  . Maybe not!

I totally agree John, there isn't an 'GOOD' adjective that decribes this, I've used a few and they all seem inadequate, and I do feel really chuffed that I can add some minor input.
We don't want to lose this or the forum, so let's not speculate financial gain... although the images have got to be better than those, ridiculous, hand drawn with biro maps of the area that the reps hand out... Ali??
