About This Site

This site is created by a GIS guy who is also an avid mountain biker and was launched on December 10th 2007 for testing. This is primarily an exercise to get up to speed in disseminating maps on the internet from a GIS guy with more desktop focused experience. The html is done by hand to help me learn it and is very basic. The mapping technology may not be the latest in server side delivery, mash-ups, etc., but, hopefully, I will get there. You have to crawl before you walk. The focus initially will be on delivering maps in various formats and not on fancy page graphics, buttons and fonts, etc. 

Most of the trails in the Central Oregon area are from GPS files that were collected with a Garmin 60CSX and in a few cases digitized trails. Elsewhere in Oregon, they are from Forest Service or local government sources and in a few cases gps files.

On the to do list is to make 8.5 x 11 pdf maps to print so as to have an option besides the tiled broadband maps sets.
