| | | Posted by z0th Google Maps -- Its handy to be able to pull your location DB down right on your phone/tablet when on the road (and get directions using Google Nav). Also allows you to collaborate with other explorers.
| Definitely handy to have it "in the cloud", that's what I like about the Google / Bing route. I was looking into accessing My Places on the phone and there doesn't seem to be a simple intuitive way to do with the official Google Maps app on my iPhone. What app / method do you use to access the locations on your phone? Posted by EsseXploreR I use Bing Maps, and though it can be annoying sometimes its very helpful. I have around 1000 places marked, from North America and Europe. Its nice to be able to just check a map quickly to see if there is anything in your area no matter where you are. I also add in the "notes" section all the info I find pertinent, the date it opened, the date it closed, stuff like that. There is also a feature to add a link to each point, which I try to do as much as possible. I also use Google Earth because there is a thing where you can look at the aerial view from decades back in some places, like historicaerials.com.
| I love Bing maps for their birds eye view feature which is the only reason I'm considering them over Google. I started putting together my DB in Google and also adding stuff into the notes section (one of which is a link to Bings birds eye view of the location). 1000 places? Woah, my DB is only in the tens Thanks for the tip about historicaerials.com! Posted by NotBatman Google Maps. Easy to maintain, easy to access, share-able if you have someone you trust. It's simple, but it works.
| This is looking more and more like the option I'll ultimately be taking. Posted by Crypton SQL Server + Custom front-end using GMaps.
| Awesome, I would be curious to see the front-end. Care to share? (without disclosing location data of course)
