hello,

An event listing site for Burning Man which uses google maps:

http://burningman.beatmaps.com

check it out.

I'd be happy if you can check it out and add your events, art installations, camps or even yourself...

Also i'd be glad if you post here any bugs you noticed...

peace

The satellite map already shows lines. Are they from a previous event???

by **nervusvagus** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 10:57 am

yes I believe satellite photo was taken right before last years event.

You can see it here:

Nice job on the overlays... Your time spent is well worth the rewards that the Playa offers,,, Thanks

by **nervusvagus** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 12:43 pm

the overlays were a bitch. You wouldn't believe how many hours i spent on that...

"...3 pixels to the east, 4 pixel to the west... oups the tile coordinates needs to change."

anyhow thanks for your comments, the playa itself is a reward.. but i'll never forget finding that pack of cigarettes in the middle of NOWHERE two days I ran out of my stack...

hello,

I just created the gpx files for burningman.beatmaps and posted a brief description at http://www.beatmaps.com/blog/?p=18

GPX are files that you can load on your pocket pc or gps device that acts as a custom gps map with waypoints. These have the entire database of beatmaps.

see you on the playa!!!
