FQP-2012 W4AN Route Details |
|
Jeff (KU8E) posted on the FQP
websute a detailed turn-by-turn
description of the W4AN
route that he and John (K4BAI) will be traveling. From the information
that Jeff posted it was easy to construct Google Maps of their
route for each day. Google provides links on those maps from
which the sequence of lat/lons for the route may be downloaded.
Downloading that file into CQ/X allows it to compute the lat/lon of the
county line crossing points as well as the distance of each traverse of
a county, and provides a means of exporting the information as a KML
file for presentation on the web as shown below. For a given day choose
the View Larger Map and once the larger map comes up you will
see a place marker for each county line crossing and if you click on a
county the driving distance across the county along the specified path
will be shown. In some cases (see for example their excursion into
Lafayette on Sunday) there will be multiple traverses of a county. Use
the Next link in the balloon to see the distance of each traverse.
