- About BackcountryMaps.com::
- BackcountryMaps.com was born after a late night conversation between two friends. JP had the idea to use Google Maps to map out the spots we've been in the backcountry and the spots we'd like to hit. Alex liked the idea and figured it would be pretty sweet and a useful tool. The next day JP started coding the proof of concept site to see if we could actually do what we wanted to do. After a few successful tests, JP started coding the live site now known as BackcountryMaps.com. The site allows registered users to add backcountry markers on the community map for the world to see. Every marker on the community map should have an associated trip report which can be viewed via the trip report side bar link or the second tab in the marker infowindow. In addition to storing markers and trip reports, you can use multiple data overlays on the map to give yourself a complete picture of any backcountry location. Map data overlays include Google Hybrid, USGS Aerial w/ Roads, USGS Topographical, Google Hybrid w/ Live NEXRAD, NASA Shuttle Relay Topograph Mission w/ Roads, and NASA LANDSAT7 w/ Roads. You can also use the site as a GeoCode location finder by clicking anywhere other then an existing marker, this will create a black marker with the current Lat/Lon in the infowindow and a link to create a trip report from these coordinates.
