Yes, It was fun to click back to Michigan and see the changes were I grew up, and my old ridding areas that were no longer there.

Frappr is a stick pin mapping utility intended to show locations of groups of folks on a map. Not quite the same application methinks.

Barry (RedStar),

Not worthless, just slow. Open and let it load while you surf. : ) We'll get one of our own up and running one of these days. I bet ya the Frappr server gets better as time goes on too. Seems that they are on to something commercially viable.

Another cool mapping tool:

I like that fact it uses multiple waypoints by default. It makes planning a ride very easy.

some of the images used are a little old. My home town has had some changes that don't show up on their pics that have been completed for several years now. I wonder how often they update. Good general info though.
