Trail Mock-up

Sorry I haven’t been posting very much but I’ve been hard at work on the new site. After sketching up a very demanding mock-up, I’ve been trying to build up a good xhtml data structure and code up the various css code blocks.

Thanks to some excellent trickery by Mr. William Green, we have managed to get our hands on the USGS topo map overlay for our project. Even though it won’t always provide us the most detailed topo maps, it will give us country-wide topo and that, to me, is a good start.

My hope is to provide functionality in phases, the first of which will be the trail section. After we go live with our trail mapping function, we’ll branch out to climbing routes, points of interest, and local gear vendors.

There’s only two of us working on the initial product so there’s really no rock-solid timeframe for completion. Hopefully we’ll have something to show for in about 2 months. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
