No problem!

Having a map overview of the road to look at while I am studying a video to help learn a new road speeds up the process a lot for me, knowing the sections and corners that are coming up without relying only on what is front of you makes a big difference.

I have some ideas to help make it easy to associate videos on the site with a particular road on the map, hopefully I have some free time and can get that up and running soon to. Yesterday I was just browsing around the Santa Cruz mountain maps on Google maps as I sometimes do, and a few hours later I am making a custom Google Maps implementation and building something useful.

I am easily distracted!

Added! (may take an hour or so to reflect on the map.

These look great! Street viewed them and there are some pretty awesome cows and some corners with Nurburgring style graffiti in the road.

Oh man, Sierra Road is great in the spring when it's green.

O_O OMFG. Google has access to scanned elevation data (even the oceans), and there might be a way for me to incorporate elevation data into my map!

Alright I think at this point I have added everything I have driven, or want to drive in the bay area, and the map should now reflect that.

Can't wait to add some new roads to our arsenal. But there's some magic to repeatin the old goodies over and over.

Very cool; good work. In time, with more data entries/shares this can be a great library for reference!

How do your read out the Description?

If im seeing

-6
-5
-4
.

.

Am I just to assume to expect all of those conditions or are those details specific to a particular section of the course?

Mines Road was pretty insane. The Mt. Hamilton Drive last year was a lot of fun. Definitely worth driving again soon.
