#1 A bit of safety for the upcoming season02-18-2011, 02:49 AM
I received the following this morning from Adrien Please PM or e-mail me or post a reply here.
Hi all,
the warm days are around the corner, and since last season was loaded of bad accidents on mountain roads i was willing to build a riding group for Golden Port track sessions.
The point would be to book 2 sessions (half a day) a months, for 3 to 5 months. It should be enough to take most daemons out of us.
We would have to be at least 15 and we will need a little bit of Guanxi to push the moody guys of JinGang. If we are numerous enough it won't be too expensive.
So far, besides all the people in this mail, i know 2 people interested. Feel free to forward this to any person you consider serious enough to ride on a track with other people.
I am looking forward group motivation !!
Anyone interested reply so i can start a list.
Cheers!Andy

02-18-2011, 04:53 AMDear AndyBiker,
Thanks for forwarding. Some track based instruction would be great, though I wish I understood Adrien's message better. I'm guessing that JinGang is a track, presumably in Beijing? If so, and this project gathers momentum, I'm guessing we could probably replicate the effort down here in Shanghai.
thanks again, and cheers!jkp

is this the place?
you copy the html code from the 'link' tag in the top R/H corner of the map, then you paste it here, go to advanced editing in post reply box, select the copied text then click on 'Gmap' icon and it is done! I can't work out how to keep the signpost thing but it was at the center of this map

Thanks jape, I know how to do it but ..
It' is maybe the place. I think we have the Google Maps in China Offset issue here. When I use a code from Google maps being on the exact location, post it here it displays a location over 1 km different in N-S ans well as E-W directions
Copied your code:

It is a known recent bug with goggle maps, not just in China as some I made ages ago work but some don't with the same sort of error in Australia. You can fix it by changing some of the embedded 'z' code if I remember rightly but that is still buggy too. Another fix is not to take the 'link' code from the map page but instead to click on the 'adjust your map' or whatever it is called and take the code from there. Maybe not worth the effort when you can just post the html code to the google map page and people can click that!

What OS and Browser are you working with? I am on XP Pro and Chrome (10.0.648.82) / FF (4.0b11). The GM link function in Chrome is totally different from FF. The goo.gl thing is from Chrome, the only thing i get from it.
Google recently changed to full vector data on Maps, so it might be the reason for the problems.Andy

Hmm, I am now using Ubuntu with Firefox but when I created some of those location maps before for private websites, I was changing about a lot, sometimes IE8 on Win XP and Win7 and sometimes Firefox, sometimes Opera. Do you think it is a cross-browser problem?
That link you just posted works correctly for me outside of China with high resolution satellite or map, but then again, apart from the red balloons so does the other one I posted finally ... so it may also depend where you are 'clicking' from?
Another work around I have used is to take a screen shot and crop and insert as a fixed image. Not sure about copyright with that but that shouldn't matter if you post a link as well.Kinlon R/T KBR JL200GY-2
