Evening folks,
Had a quick browse on bleau info today and to my disgust they have removed those really handy co-ordinates for all the different areas!
My sat nav has been updated and lost them all from last time, does anyone know of any sites that give you the numbers for the main areas? It was so easy last time using the co ordinates.
Much appreciated
-
I did some poi s for Tom Tom sat nav that should be still available on this site. Can be converted to be used on most sat nav units. Obviously haven't updated then for a while add I don't have any spare time these days.
-
I've used the POIs off of here on a TomTom in the past with great success.
-
Call me a crazy fool, but how do I find these poi? I plan on using a tom tom so hopefully it'll work
-
Go to cosiroc.fr
Click on Circuits, then liste de toutes les circuits.
This will bring up a drop down menu where you can select all the circuits. Then click IGN (looks like a little map symbol) for the map coordinates.
Doesnt have individuel problems though.
I post a better link when Im not on my phone if you cant get it to work.

Check the POI files sub-forum (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/board,34.0.html) you crazy fool.

I have gone into Google maps and dropped stars at crag parking locations and as I'm with Three I get free internet abroad therefore can just use my phone (need to be logged in to Google in order to save them). This was/is much less hassle than using a satnav and farting about with POIs...
Fried's beta sounds good though...

You could share that map for the greater good (https://support.google.com/maps/answer/144361?hl=en) ;)

Yes, that would be awesome!

I think it will only work if you're logged in as me and clearly I'm not going to give you 'orrible lot my log in details!! Honestly, I'm a complete luddite when it comes to most technologies and this was easy...
1. Get a Google account
2. Open Google maps
3. Type in Fontainebleau
4. Find the car park for the area you want to save (I used my extensive knowledge here but you could use a guide book or the internet as suggested by Fried above)
5. Put your mouse cursor over the spot, left click and hold and it will drop a pin and bring up the coordinates in the top left corner of your screen.
6. Click on these coordinates and it will bring up a box with an option to save location.
7. Click on Save and a gold star will appear here and will always be there whenever you look at Google maps and are logged in...
Simples... :thumbsup:
EDIT...
Here (https://goo.gl/maps/342mH)is the link to the shared map as suggested by Slackers but it does only contain a few areas with easy stuff that I will be taking the missus to next week and these are not labelled so you will still have to do some homework!

Nope, I shared publicly the Sheffield Boulders map (https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zRW0j3XFT5Cs.kmOXWb5T2dG0&msa=0) I created so that anyone else can view them (its linked from the Wiki on the off-chance anyone reads it).
The link I included is to Google Maps > Help > Share Maps (https://support.google.com/maps/answer/144361?hl=en) and should be easy to follow to share the locations you've saved publicly.
A quick search (https://www.google.com/search?q=google+map+fontainebleau+bouldering) reveals a couple that others have shared publicly but neither seem comprehensive (to me at least since I imported the POI's into OpenStreetMap on Android)...

UKC have their map but you have to view it through their site :no:
1. Get a Google account
2. Open Google maps
3. Type in Fontainebleau
4. Find the car park (I used my extensive knowledge here but you could use a guide book or the internet as suggested by Fried above)
5. Put your mouse cursor over the spot, left click and hold and it will drop a pin and bring up the coordinates in the top left corner of your screen.

7. A gold star will appear here and will always be there whenever you look at Google maps and are logged in...

Yep, simple, but time consuming, especially if everyone sat down and did it. Sharing is good as it saves others wasting time re-inventing the wheel you've already invented.
-
You mean I actually invented something!!??
-
Depends if you did it before the other two I just found.
-
Ha!
Sounds like a worthwhile project... Might get stuck into it when back from Font!
-
Well if you're off to Font then take your phone with you can once you top up save the location of each boulder you top-out and record the problem you've done.
You can then share all of those too :)
-
Thanks guys! That French website was pretty good
-
I wouldn't be hard to import Jim's TomTom POI's (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,6809.msg98363.html) into google maps. would that help?
-
If its not hard and you've the time and inclination to do it, just do it. There seems little point to me in asking here if it would be helpful to do so.
-
Fine. I'll do it this evening
-
Ducko, simply download the POI's as linked to in the other sub-forum above then plug you tomtom into your computer and simply transfer the files to the map folder. Then all you have to do is navigate to the POI in tomtom, no internet required
-
yeah Ducko, i'll put them on google maps if you can't get them into your sat nav...
-
Fine. I'll do it this evening
Not seen any post from you on this yet standard.
I went and did it for Font, the UK and Italy (since these were all readily available from different sources so it was easy to pull them together).
View the map here (https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zRW0j3XFT5Cs.kTKlHeMvcz9o)
DISCLAIMER : I've not defined these points myself, if they're wrong someone else got them wrong.

Handy. I could open them on my Android phone but couldn't see how to save or bookmark the map, if you want to add a copy in 'My places' on your phone here's the workflow that worked for me:
- From Slacklines maps click the share button (three dots and line to right of Twitter button), 'download KML'
- Sign into Google in browser, go to https://www.google.co.uk/maps/ hover over empty search bar, 'my maps' should appear, click on it and click 'Create' Alternatively go to https://www.google.com/maps/d/?pli=1
- Under 'untitled layer' click 'import', Select the downloaded 'Bouldering Venues.KMZ' file.
- Name you map... "Original great work by Slackers and others..." :thumbsup:
- Once your phone syncs, your new map should be under 'Your places'. Now you can click on a venue and navigate to...
