Hey Jeff.

Would love to pick your exel sheet for WP's. If you could send it to malm@privat.tdcadsl.dk that would be great.

By the way; your webpage is a great source of information to me. Not to mention a good laugh at the same time :). Your visitor counter has propably risen these past couple of weeks. Yup, that was me.

Hi Jeff,
I would love if you could send that to Nashe (at)trevornet dotorg. As with many people around here im planning a RTW and this would be awesome. I appriciate it, thanks a lot.

KenKeller 3 Jul 2007 23:00

Post spreadsheet on HU
 
Hi Jeff,
Very good of you to offer the rest of us these useful waypoints. There's already a raft of people clamouring for them.
Thought just struck me: perhaps you could send the spreadsheet to Grant, and he could make it downloadable from the site? Could include a link to it from this thread too.
Eases the burden on you (you don't have to individually mail all those requesting the file), and, most likely, it will mean more people will, ultimately, avail of it.

Anyone else with any other information/files that might be useful to the rest of us and could be made downloadable from HU?

Regards,
Ken.

PatrickL 4 Jul 2007 10:02

Would be great if you could send those way points to me at pliversage (at) hotmail dot com Hoping to start my trek home to RSA in the next few months going via the west route.

slep_afrika 24 Apr 2009 12:01

Hey Gert,


from my own travelling through Africa I realised the leak of an
exchange stock for such data, so I implemented something I guess it will
work. Have a look: Routes, overnight places, accomodations, embassies, country details



This site has many more options than just sharing GPS-data for overland
travellers. For instance it is possible to get a roadbook with an allways up to date map-window and clickable markers generated out
of the database entries. Have a look: Routes, overnight places, accomodations, embassies, country details



If you like to share your data, it is very easy to feed the database.
Just send the .gpx file to newroute@traveller-tracks.com or
newpoi@traveller-tracks.com and that it was. Use your emailaddress which
you used for registering at Traveller-Tracks. If you do not like to
register, send the data directly to me (admin(at)traveller-tracks.com) and I will publish them under
your name with links to your homepage.



Looking forward to hear from you



Cheers Peter

Hi, I'm going to go down West Africa in March 2010 and would sure appreciate those waypoints.
My eMail is eljuliano at gmail . com

Have you thought of uploading them to a filesharing service like drop.io or mediafire.com? I have some webspace I could put them on too. You wouldn't have to eMail them every time.

Anyway, thanks a lot, Julian

Tom
You can find camp sites for Zambia and numerous other countries in Ulrich's excellent zip file here:

They are in both Google Earth & MapSource formats.

I've e-mailed you Zambia, Angola & DRC in gpx format as a sample of Ulrich's efforts. If you want them in kml format for Google Earth, just download the file.

Meanwhile, I'd recommend you alter your e-mail address [Tomwesterlund AT yahoo DOT com] to avoid becoming a spam victim. :)

Best wishes and happy travels.

BigTripHome 16 May 2009 14:38

Hi..
 
I am planning my BigTripHome, riding from Melbourne through South East Asia and China to India. I have only just started at dong my research so any help that you can provide shall be awesome.

I have been told that taking one's own bike into China can be a bit hard, but i havent done much research on this - but feel this should be possible.

I hope to travel from Darwin to Indonesia, and the ride north to Medan and take ferry to Malaysia. Through to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam before entering into China.

Then into Nepal and finally into India.

Aaaah, the day will finally come when I finally set off.

Thanks,
