Streets & Trips Library of Member Trips

From Charleston, SC to Niagra Falls via Shanksville PA Flight 93 Memorial and Punxatawney PA, to Toms River NJ, then Mt. Airy, NC.

GPS was enabled, but this version was saved mid trip. The finished version was too big.

15 day trip.

This IS S&T '08.

Thanks, Creeker, for posting your trips. They are interesting and stimulating. Here's hoping you have more good ones in 2009!

Trip we take pretty routinely from Charleston, SC area to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN area.

Its a nice single day trip to get away from the heat of the Coast to the low mountains of the Blue Ridge, usually for a weekend or a little more.

Its beautiful in the winter time, too, with not an overabundance of snow.

I'm pretty sure this is in S&T '08.

Not a trip per se, but an example of how I use S&T (2008).

Attached is a map I sketched of one midwestern power company's system - they started operation in 1909 and this is a snapshot of their system after their first 10 years. The thin black lines outside the area of pushpins and lines shows the company's territorial coverage as of today (and the donut hole therein, which another investor-owned utility occupies).

Excellent posting and imaginative use of S&T. Well done!

LineChaser, did you give any consideration to coloring-in your 'territories'?

See attachment where I did part .

Just looked at the colored maps you put up - how did you get that transparency effect? I tried and it only came out opaque.

It's not actually transparent; I don't know of a way to layer color over terrain with transparency (another Wish List request??). What I did was to push the color zone behind the roads (right-click, Order, Send Behind Roads). I chose the light yellow so that it was near the terrain color scheme.

Both these are cool!

How did you locate the pushpins; latitude and longitude? I assume they are not road-oriented.

Manually - used a few maps for reference, also Street View in Google Maps, and in a few areas, actually driving down back roads to pick up the last few bits of information. The different colors used are to differentiate the various voltages (or to denote 'historic' alignments in a few areas). The voltages represented in this map run the gamut from 2400 volts all the way to 115,000 volts (the latter are shown only where the line in question replaced a lower voltage line as most of those and higher voltage lines tend to run cross country otherwise)

Anyone else out there have an unique use for S&T?

W O W!

Here is a little trip on Lake Simcoe and Lake Couch + up to sparrow lake. Does anyone have a map show buoys

First post on this forum, so might as well make it worthwhile.

Two trips of many that I have used Streets & Trips for. Normally most routes are inside the great State of Texas. As a lot of people know, you need a mapping program in this state.

#1 from Lubbock, TX to Moab, UT and back - Vehicle 2005 Miata
#2 from Lubbock, TX to Lake Havasu, AZ - retrace same route back - Three motorhomes.
Both in S&T 2006

Enjoy

Michael
