Geo Waypoints
An exploration of adding waypoint information to Geo data. Waypoints are a series of points, describing routes or boundaries.
The Problem
To allow the publishing of waypoints in such a way that they are downloadable and parsable.
Participants
Real-World Examples
- Jiri to Everest Trek in Nepal
- (or any other treks on that site)
- http://members.aol.com/gpspage/waypoints.html
- Freshman Seminar Waypoint Hunt
Issues
- How to differentiate between a route (for example in the shape of a letter "U") and a boundary - in other words, to say whether or not, after the last point, the line returns to the first.
