50 New Extracts

I’ve added 50 new extracts (based on Routegadget scans) - mainly for clubs in Scotland and the South-East of England.
This brings the total number of extracts to more than 160, or around 7% of the total. Additionally, on the Map of Maps, the flags representing maps with extracts are now shown with a yellow border.

Dupes

I’ve tidied up the database behind the Map of Maps 3 list of orienteering maps in the UK. The source database I got the data from lists old as well as new maps of the same area.
The process I’ve used to remove the dupes is:

Where multiple maps have the same grid reference, I’ve removed the [...]

Googlejuice

Google is currently ranking the UK Orienteering Fixtures Map around 30th or so (out of ~40,000,000) when searching for the word “Fixtures”. I’m quite chuffed that the page is ranking so highly for such a generic term - there must be a lot of fixtures pages for all the other sports right across the world. [...]

Map of Maps - Extracts

Map of Maps now has small extracts of some of the maps. These are photographs from my own collection, that I did for the original Map of Map 1 project several years ago. There’s only a few there currently, gradually I’ll add more from my collection. Around 3% of maps have the extracts, this should [...]

2000km

Passed the 2000km mark on my bike, according to my cycle computer. Having done the first 1000km in 77 days, my second 1000km took 99 days. I’m only cycling in three days a week now since starting university, and I haven’t done many long bike rides this summer, as it hasn’t really been much of [...]

Map of Maps - View by Club

I’ve added a new feature to Map of Maps - you can now specify a club or region. Instead of displaying the 100 maps nearest to you, it displays all maps which have a club or region matching the text you specify.
e.g. Entering SOA will show all registered maps in the SOA region.
e.g. Entering [...]

Map of Maps - Corrections Please!

[Updated] I’ve now added an “Alert” button beside each map listing on the Map of Maps page. I’ve also fixed the Alert mechanism for the Fixtures page, which was broken for the last month or so due to technical changes by my website host.
If you spot a map in the wrong place, please use the [...]

Map of Maps

I’ve added a Map of Maps to go alongside my UK O-Events Map page. Both pages look similar as they have the same structural layout and stylesheet. The Map of Maps shows you your nearest orienteering maps registered with BOF, and from this lists your local clubs - possibly useful for someone wanting to join [...]

Events Map Update

{Updated] I’ve added a new feature to the events map - filtering by club or region. This only works on the table at present, not on the map. The filtering is done client-side, i.e. by your web browser, using Javascript. Choose a club, or a region, from the drop-down at the top of the table, [...]
