| | | Posted by DJ Craig I have hundreds of locations all over the US saved in my Tomtom GPS. Anywhere I'm driving, I can bring up a list in order of distance from my current location, or from my destination. I also have it set up so it makes a noise if I drive within a couple of miles of one.
| That's pretty clever! I'm guessing you also have a backup on your PC somewhere? Posted by Therrin I just have a folder on my computer desktop labeled "UE Stuff" that has a thousand or so subfolders packed with all of my locations info. As for a locations database the closest thing I have is using pushpins on Google Earth.
| As I'm very interested in the history of these places, I have a similar folder loaded with all my research about the locations; newspaper clippings, videos, etc. Posted by macgruder Google Maps database. Works well enough for me, except there are so many locations, it puts them onto more than one page, so overlaying multiple pages isn't possible (that I know of).
| That can be a bit annoying, but if you load it in Google Earth you should be able to see all of them at once. Posted by arntzville He sent me a PM about it on another forum asking about one of the locations. I guess it came up in a Google search even though I was 100% positive that I had set it not to do so.
| Interesting, I'll have to look into that. Posted by CaptainSqueaky Map posters plastering walls in my room with multi colour thumb tacks.

"I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down." -Mitch Hedberg (RIP)
| <3 Mitch Hedberg Posted by KMUE1991 I use bing and categorize places into cities if its a nearby state, or state if its a further state. My places in Europe or Canada are in a separate folder as well. And for local places that I find I put them into categorizes by county in my home state. It sounds complicated but it keeps things really organized. Bing has a fairly good birds eye view so its pretty helpful for scouting out parking and even entry sometimes. I used to categorize it by type of location but once you get a lot of locations it becomes impossible to find anything in a certain area that way.
| Interesting, I didn't realize Bing had the ability to categorize - or are you just creating separate maps?

| | | For me, life is too short to make location data bases... That's why i just save every kind of electronic information source (facebook, panoramio,flickr,local news page,forums,google map links,etc) in bookmark manager, adding folders with names "ponies", "more ponies", "rainbows" etc . So far it works. But usually i try to remember everything. Ahh yea, for going abroad there are real maps with some circles. It works until map dissolves into pieces if it rains. True story. Ahh another thing - before getting new operating system, save skype urban exploring chat history. Once i lost very detailed information about not yet accessed places. My studies are related with information organization but life puts everything into right place - there's nothing but chaos in my urban exploring files and collected data from internet.
