The wiki software was updated today. If you see any errors, let me know by contacting me via the contact link at the top.
Permanent links have finally been added to HikeCT! You can now link to what you see. Note that any lines you draw will not be included in the link.
A distance measurement function has also been added. It was debated whether to add it or not but most of the functionaility is there. There are a couple of bugs including the fact that after you draw the line, you have to modify it in order for the mileage to show up.
Enjoy! Use the contact page to let me know what you think.
New trails have been added. Detailed descriptions are coming …
Due to the fact that there are more and more parking icons as the number of trails grow, the icons have been changed so they now only appear when you are zoomed in further.
Note that while I have been very lax about posting updates here, I have been continuing to work on updating trails as I hike them and have time.
There are now over 250 miles of trails on this site some with profile data on the details page of each hike. While I will continue to keep working on updating the information I may forget to post that I have done so here.
You may have noticed that the icons do not show up when you go to the main page. This is intentional. They will show up when you zoom in on the page. The functionality was changed in order to increase the visibility of the trails.
The some of the icons have also been changed to make it easier to see where the parking spots are.
As you may have already noticed, all of the detail pages now have static maps and elevation graphs. Unfortunately the static maps have a limitation for the number of points that they can allow so the trail is going to look less smooth. However, if you click on the image of the map, it will link you to the dynamic map where you can pan and zoom.
Part of the reason for implimenting these new static maps was to get around the limiation that some browsers have.
I have added tracks for a portion of the Kettletown state park trails and also a section of the mettabesset trail.
HikeCT was updated so you can now zoom in and out with the scroll wheel on the mouse.
Yesterday Google updated all of the satellite imagery with the imagery that is being used in Google Earth. This means that the satellite images are clearer and you can zoom in farther.
