GPS Locations - Google Maps River Map of Ireland

If anyone has GPS locations for river putins can you post them here.

If you have some free time, you can find them on google earth or google maps.

Thanks!

Degrees minutes seconds is good, but If you happen to have in decimal form it would be great :-p It would just speed up the process.

Heres my first attempt at a Google maps river mash up. Its dynamically generated froma database of all the locations we will collect.
http://www.irishwhitewater.com/river_guide/map.php

I plan on adding :
- Hospitals
- Paddling Shops
- More detailed individual maps, which will have greater detail like alternate putin/takeouts, features, hazards etc.
-Rivers by grade Map View

Other features that will come out of this project:
- A POI River file for car GPS systems, this will give you directions to each river
- A section on each guide that will tell you what other rivers are in a 20km radius of that river.

If you have any suggestions, please post them.

Until then please post the locations of anything you think we can use.

All the best,
Seanie


PS. as with all of these projects, it will take ages for me to do, im busy with work at the moment, but I will get it done eventually.

We don't have a guide for that yet, so it'll have to wait.
All the others have been added.
Thanks.

I've added a whole bunch of rivers to the map. I still need a bunch more before I can make this feature live, your help would be appreciated.

I'm still working away at this!

You can see what rivers have been added here:
http://www.irishwhitewater.com/river_guide/map.php

Its only a quick demo I knocked out, the finished product will have more features.

I'm in the process of adding rivers to a geo location database, so i can make accurate maps of where rivers are, where there get in and get outs are etc.

And individual rivers like this:
http://www.irishwhitewater.com/river_gu ... php?id=238
And ultimately publish the info so people can put it on their car or mobile phone GPS device.

If you have some spare time, if you could send me a Google map indicating the put in and take out of rivers I would really appreciate it.

Some areas dont have great Google maps coverage, so if you could indicate their location on the OSI maps or send me their longitude and latitude it would also be great:

All the best,
Seanie
