This web page is designed to work with Mozilla Firefox ® in other browsers it may have limitted functionality.
If you started this web page from the URL. http://www.stevematt.force9.co.uk/googlemap/ffgmap.html then the Googlemap api key will be invalid. You need to start it from http://www.stevematt.f9.co.uk/googlemap/ffgmap.html
Imported routes or tracks can contain up to 2000 points however you can import more than one file. But because javascript is so slow in practice you'll only be able to upload a couple of hundred.
New routes or tracks generated by this web page can contain up to 2000 points.
Points must be in this format lat="51.572802" lon="-1.298446" and not degrees/minutes. Points are truncated to six decimal places when loaded into this web page to avoid a bug in Googlemaps that would otherwise make them unclickable.
The 'User created points' list is in GPSSC route format. You can copy this section and paste directly in to a GPSSC route file. Alternatively use the Output buttons for a GPX compliant format.
You can put via's in the Google directions by putting additional places in the 'Place name to' line. Between each place name put ' to: ' but not before the first place name. ' to: ' must be lower case. You can also use latitude and longitude instead of place names e.g. 51.447160, -1.466686 to: 51.380031,-1.690539.
If you want to get Google directions for a place with no name then you can use latitude and longitude instead. Get an aproximate route first and then click on the map to create a new marker at your place. Use the latitude and longitude of the marker to get new directions.
If you want to clear all your user points then use the browser refresh function to reload this web page.
There is a lot of javascript in this web page. You need to let the page fully load before trying to get a map.
If you use IE8 set the zoom to 100% and set compatibility mode. You may need to visit the Microsoft web site to get the latest compatibility modes.
