I always read Ex Libris <\/a>(it’s written by my favorite non-blood-relation librarian), and Marylaine’s “cool quote” was from WorldChanging.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“According to one map-making friend, creating walkshed maps… would be a relatively simple Google Maps \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mash Up.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Anyone know of such a tool? Anyone volunteer to do this project? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to have a detailed map stowed in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153glove box\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of our Burley of all 248 businesses in my home zone. Ideally, I would want a walking map or PDA application that shows me the whereabouts of public restrooms, water fountains, bike racks, curb cuts, bus stops, and benches.” Worldchanging<\/a><\/p>\n

So then I went to WorldChanging, because I already have a tote bag from them (thanks ALA conference!) and am on their mailing list.<\/p>\n

This made me think about my idea to catalog all the climbing trees in Champaign. I thought I could use GPS data, digital photographs, and Google Maps to put it together.<\/p>\n

So from WorldChanging I went to Bycycle<\/a>, and was only slightly frustrated to find out that they only have Philly, Portland, and Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

So five minutes later, whilst reading Lifehacker<\/a>, I spied Bikely<\/a> – a bike route map site. I figured it would be like Google Maps, where you’d need GPS data to show routes.<\/p>\n

NOPE! You use Google Maps, but you just click in the intersections. I signed up immediately, and made a map of my commute to class<\/a>. It shows the distance, and I tagged it with commute, urban, basic, and low-traffic. It’s my new fascination. I encourage other bikers in Champaign (who happen to read my blog, ahem, Sasha, ahem, Laurie) to log route. I want to see how you get places!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
