All Tracks.org.nz in one big KML file

Submitted by mike on Sun, 2010-02-07 06:05

Update Sat 24 April 2010

KML and KMZ files are now created daily.

KML file
All NZ MTB Tracks KML
KMZ file (zipped KML)
All NZ MTB Tracks KMZ

If you want Google earth to always have the latest up to date tracks, Add a "network link" in google earth and give it the URL to the KMZ file

So I got off my arse and updated Don's script to put all tracks.org.nz content in one big KML file.

Looks great in Google earth as it contains all NZ now not just Wellington.

File is attached to this post. here: All_NZ_MTB_Tracks.kml

how much for them loggers. I see some gaps in the Wanaka area.

#2Submitted by mikea on Fri, 2010-03-12 07:20.

Yeah, a youngun at work mentioned finding some of the tracks above the outlet after 5 years of visiting Wanaka regularly. He wasn't sure how to get back to them so I tried to find them on tracks.co.nz, no dice. I've sent a letter outlining the encounter to Girlfriend's "How embarrassment" column.

I blame you Ca22um.

Nah, it's further in. That's the outlet track, which is a gravel walking road.

The loggers we bought were

The loggers we bought were Holux m241s. I think they were about $160 NZD. They seem to have better sensitivity than my old gamin etrex, which can to loose signal easily (under trees etc.). If you want to add tracks to the tracks.org.nz site you don't strictly need a logger. In fact most of the tracks on there have just been traced in Google Earth. So if you know where the track goes just sign up, and add it.
