We've been playing and have discovered how to make our own Google Maps! We've not gotten very far, but this is Pe's latest method of procrastination, so it will probably move swiftly. ;)

Clicking on the following will take you to the actual interactive map that you can play with.


Road Trip: Day 1


Yosemite National Park: Days 2-5

Here's a very quick crash course in using Google Maps for those of you who might not have... (We can never assume these things now...)

The screen will look (a bit) like this:



Purple Circles: Click on the pins and other little symbols to view a comment and/or picture.

Red Circles: three different views of the area - map, satellite and hybrid.

Orange Circles: Zoom In and Out (mouse wheel will offer similar results. Also, left click, right click and both-button click will provide different panning options)

Blue Circles: Minimises the writing on the left side of the screen.

If it suddenly and for no reason starts flying across the world, just press all the arrow keys until it stops (actually, if the map is flying left, pressing the left button should solve the problem)

Well, that's about it. Hopefully we'll end up with a few maps to show you where we are and where we've been, and how far we drove that day...

Hope you had a great Easter!
