Flash Mapping to come on Waterscape

Not a waterways news snippet item yet, but hey look at this then, the first showing of  the first generation of the dynamic PDF maps .  Richard Fairhurst of Waterscape is doing this “for work and fun” he says.  Well I am envious.  I would love to work on something like this.  Very often I use these type of maps for looking for walks near to where we moor, very useful for that, but here we have the start of something extremely useful for the boater. 

Looking further into it earlier this week, I saw that I could actually add information to maps, I think that is how it goes, although I have not dug too deeply as yet, I did see this site, Geowiki,  in Richard’s links on his blog Systeme D .   It would be great to be able to add supermarkets, laundrettes… (not that I would need one so often now we have the washing machine actually plumbed in today!  ) and all sort of other items of interest to boaters.

I shall be watching this closely with interest, and have put  Systeme D into the boaters blog links on the left
