It’s ended up being an interesting project to enter the worksheet list into MapSource. I would do a find within MapSource and many of the places didn’t exist so I would have to go to an internet search. Some didn’t come up in an internet search, so I would have to go back to the books and read up on the area and find things on the internet that are located around them. There were a few that I simply couldn’t locate.<\/p>\n
Some the items on the worksheet were general information or duplicates so I ended up with 247 waypoints in the Canadian provinces alone.<\/p>\n
The next step was playing connect the dots with the waypoints in a logical itinerary that would flow.\u00a0 I have worked at this for about a month and\u00a0 have 262 waypoints (I have run across more things to add) on 47 routes. I have entered comments for almost all waypoints explaining their importance. A worksheet of the waypoints with comments and coordinates is available at http:\/\/motorcycle-journeys.com\/current\/routes_maps\/routes_maps.html.<\/p>\n
