Google Maps is a fun toy

[gmap id=map1 |center=43.75522505306928,7.38006591796875 |zoom=9 |width=450px |height=450px |control=Small |type=Map |markers=yellow::43.620170616189895,7.108154296875:Training was here |markers=blue::43.818923,7.778664:Dinner was here]

The yellow marker on the left is where I was off doing some product training in mid November. Yes, life is tough when you have to go to the south of France for training. The blue one shows where my boss and I decided to pop over to Italy for dinner.

Now, for more fun! The whole trip looks something like this:

[gmap id=map2 |center=21.616579336740603, 70.3125 |zoom=2 |width=450px |height=450px |control=Small |type=Map |line=#000000/1/1:-37.6698167,144.8489417 + 22.3127972,113.9299 + 51.4698833,-0.4481444 + 43.6600833,7.2057583 + 51.4698833,-0.4481444 + 1.3630611,103.9911472 + -37.6698167,144.8489417]

I think on my next trip I'll program my little GPS logger to take a sample once every half an hour or so, and then use those points to plot out the travel with a little more accuracy that simply looking up the coordinates of the airports at each stop. I'm sure I've mentioned somewhere that I'm a geek....
