Morocco info: tracks, pics, story and a lot more
 

Hi all,

I have spent some time developing a new travel report format. Not the usual pictures & story but an intercactive approach with downloadable tracklogs, maps, pictures, stories and a lot more. All is GPS based! Don't forget to press the menu button ;-)

Your feedback (the good and the bad) is highly appreciated.

Cheers and have fun on

Demito,
Congratulations, innovative, interesting and informative.
Great way of presenting this! :thumbup1:

Demito,

It's pretty cool! I also have the tracks, geo-referenced pics but sadly no skills. Any hints how to do it? A CMS, maybe?

Hi there,

Congratilations man! What an excellent way of showing a trip! Loved Morocco photos. Next October i'm there!

Genius ! Best web site I've ever seen about seeing Morocco by bike and I waste/spend an awful lot of time dreaming online.

On another matter, if I download the GPX files to my computer, can I then just chuck them straight into my Zumo as a route

Congrats again

.gpx is a GPS file interchange standard that can be dealth with by numerous softwares. If you use a zumo, load the .gpx in Mapsource and chuck it straight into your unit! I have a littleproject running on getting it straight into a garmin unit from the website, but that is not ready yet...

Glad you like the site!

Tom

Great
 

Hi Tom,

Really great website you made. I enjoyed watching your pictures. Nice with the background music. Watching your travel stories is very bad for me. I just returned from a trip to Denmark but after seing your site, I want to ride again............ :-)

A quick question:
What camera do you use on your trips ?

Morocco
 

Brilliant format, next thing would be to try and add voice overlay to it.
Brought back the merrory of my one trip to Morocco last year, if i get a chance I will be back one day.

Thanks for the insight on your trip.

as of yesterday...
 

... I registered my own domain name. The interactive trip reports can now be found at i-spog.com

enjoy!

Hi, I tried to get onto your site using the link but the screen went blank (grey) maybe its something that I am doing wrong?

I can't get it to open either
 

My screen just went grey when i clicked on the enter bit. Is it because I,m on an Apple not a PC?

I Just get a grey screen

I am running WinXP SP3 and IE7

Same here:(
Vista. Tried IE and Firefox, seems to sit there downloading but no joy.

Curiosity / anticipation based on the above replies is killing me

Me too :( grey screen

Black screen........................................

Just nothing but grayness .....

Sorry to say, but me too - just gray. Bummer, sounded like a good site.

Hi guys, I viewed that site months ago and now can't. For your information it was a BMW 1200GS trip round Morocco. Mostly offroad. The page showed a profile of altitude, a ribbon on a map showing where on that day's section you viewed-a day at time. A choice of still pics could be selected and the postion on the line was shown as well as on the altitude stip. A menu on the page allowed data to be viewed such as distances and others I forget, though dialogue was one. All in all a very original, clear and interesting not to forget creative way to show the trip. 10 for style. 10 for content. 4 for choice of bike! Linzi.

Website
 

Black screen only for me, I'm afraid (Win XP Pro, Int Explorer)

Neil

?!"!!?
 

Grey for me - computer!!

.....greyish screen...

Interesting, mine comes up with waving fields of daisies for a few seconds.... but then fades to what can only be described as 'grey'

Daisies?
 

You been on the booze, then out in the sun by any chance? Linzi.

Ok amigos,

a new security policy adopted by adobe flash caused the "grey screen only" error...
But...
I fixed the issue (I know it took some time but hey, I am not a pro), so the website is shown in a correct way now.

Have fun all and let me know what you think.
Demito


PS Still working on the English translations for the South America trip though... But the piccies say a lot already. There's more to come!
PPS oh yes the URL is: i-spog --- explore my trip

Demito,
Finally got to see your Morrocan trip, very nice pictures. The wide angle pictures in the mountains give a very good perspective of how big the Sahara really is. What type of camera equipment did you use for this trip. Do you plan to add audio to your trip eventually.

hi demito,
great site, loved the pictures

Great pix
 

Fantastic pictures,

Jojo

Welome to the HUBB, Dave

Blank screens? - not here...!
 

Hi Demito
Congratulations, terrific show, puts all my old trip reports in the shade.
No blank screens here. Windows XP, French broadband connection.
It all came up... and stayed up all evening.
This beats Television any day
Regards

I used my old reliable Canon 300D, not the best camera around but still going strong after numerous falls and all them vibrations...
Apart from background music which is already available (click the play button at the bottom of the page and you wil hear some nice tunes), I do not plan to add any other sound/voice overlay...
