Western North Carolina Mapping Project

This project involves a number of new concepts. This is being prepared for a competition dealing with application of technology. The major sponsor of this contest is Google. Consiquently our project involves a web site that takes advatage of Google Maps to promote the many outdoor activities of Asheville. In addition the prime objective is to obtain information in the public domain. Our team has also focused strongly on use of open source software whenever possible.

Because of some limitations of Google Maps, we will focus on a mixture of using points for as many features a possible and then uploading individual layers to overlay Google Maps for the trails. To supplament Google Maps, a link will be included to access full maps with traditional elements.

The maps are not tweeked fully yet and comments are most welcome on the maps that I have included here.
