Basically use google earth to put the places on the map

Good idea eh?

We have a similar thing going on in the Wiki,

Needs quite a bit of filling up. Maybe just one map with all locations on it would be better.. hmm

My idea was better.

This is 2-3 years old now though so a few concepts would be done differently, and it would centered around a map or calender depending on users choice.

Ride-Here brief;

- Centered around a calendar (www.xl-designs.com/ride-here),

- Each date will have the rides that are being organised for that day. Each ride will be a different colour, which can be chosen by the person adding ride.

- Each day is clickable to view a more detailed list of the rides on that day.

- Each ride will have a list of users that will be attending, along with bike information and information from users profile.

- Each ride will be in a town that is already in database, so users can see what town they are riding in, and view reviews on that town.

- Users must sign-up to the site to start a new ride.

- Users may add themselves to a ride. As well as remove themselves

- Users may add and review towns.

Ride-Here specification;

-> Homepage;

- Latest added and reviewed towns

- Calander underneath

- Latest rides organised

- User login

-> Calendar;

- Browse months

- View ride

-- View users currently added to ride

-- Display long blurb on town if town is in database

- Report ride (such as offensive/spam rides)

- Detailed day view

-- Display all rides for that day

-- Each ride has short list of riders

-- Each ride has short blurb of town if exists in database

-- If logged in, ability to "sign-up" for ride

-> User Area;

- View all rides you are currently attending

- Search for rides

- Review a town

?- Review a ride after it has taken place (after ride date, once you login you will be asked if you want to review)

- Start a new ride

?- Search riders in an area

-> Extra features;

- When signed up for a ride, users have the option to recieve an e-mail 24 hours before the ride.

- Users can recieve an e-mail when a ride is started in there town

?- Users who started the ride may recieve an e-mail when someone signs up

One day i'll get around to it.

Nice to see others trying though, although there is quite a few now.

Yeah I think it would. Just have one marker per spot, would be crowded on the UK view but work much better when you zoom in I reckon.

And I think it should be possible to have a picture and a caption for each spot, I think currently you can only do one or the other, at least I could...
