Directory of /p sites

Post by g8gtz » Fri Apr 08, 2016 1:54 pm

Dave G8GKQ and I are thinking it would useful to have a directory of good /p sites on the wiki = https://wiki.batc.tv/Directory_of_portable_sites

We wanted to include a map so I set up a gmap = https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid= ... guZyvh02SU

However, the markers are not clickable or linkable to – so there’s limited interaction.

However, you can add descriptions / pictures to the markers and use the ruler to measure distance – so now I’m thinking it may be best to just use Gmaps....

Before I go adding to much data to either solution it would be useful to have others thoughts - is this a good idea, are there better ways to do it....

Good idea. A system that could link to heywhatsthat would show the takeoff well. The 8 character IDs seem to persist.

After my last outing, the popularity of the site and the number of bushes would also be useful. :oops:

Good idea Brian.

I've put a note about heywhatsthat on the main site page https://wiki.batc.tv/Directory_of_portable_sites

I've updated the Walbury profile with what I suggest could be used as a example page https://wiki.batc.tv/Walbury_Hill_near_ ... _Berkshire

I've started a Rhosemor page for you to complete :-) https://wiki.batc.tv/Rhosesmor_-_North_Wales

To add another site use the site template - see the instructions on https://wiki.batc.tv/Directory_of_portable_sites and add it to http://www.heywhatsthat.com

To everyone - Don't forget- it's YOUR wiki so ideas and suggestions welcome and start adding CONTENT!
