Sharing routes from Garmin Zumo and Basecamp

Basecamp is the Mac sort of version of Mapsource. If you are both clever and lucky you can design routes on the Mac and export them to the Garmin and retrace them. Its easy to import routes into Basecamp from the GPS. But what about sharing them on a blog or something similar in a more intelligent way than just taking a screenshot and posting the picture? This is useful but not quite it: http://rolfje.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/how-to-share-garmin-routes-with-your-friends/
Then there’s Garmin Connect but that doesn’t seem quite right.
What about this from Motowhere. Its a route I’ve placed there a while back and it should show up here:


What about satellite images?


Here’s an import from another motorcycle route sharing website Open Road Journey. It seems a bit more developed than MotoWhere, where the ‘forums’ are moribund and just full of spam. ORJ appears to have real articles on it:


Finally, there’s Everytrail of course.It seems more sophisticated when tacking GPX files from the Garmin.

Chancellor of Cambridge University

Yesterday morning I queued in the autumn sunshine to vote for Abdul Arain as Chancellor of Cambridge University. We were guided by top-hatted administrators, and helped into gowns by others. I found myself next to an elderly lady who was separated from her husband for technical reasons I won’t go in to. She told me that she was a scientist and had graduated from Newnham College in 1944. She didn’t get a degree, she told me, but a certificate that told her that she would have been awarded a degree if she had been a man, but as a woman she could only be given a certificate. I’ve been reading about women and universities recently and I believe that Cambridge University only started admitting women in the 1920s.
Once inside to vote, the assistants looked up my name in two huge folders. I told them that I had not really expected them to have a computer database. One of them laughed and said ‘Give us another 800 years’.
Details of the vote and the result are at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/universityeducation/8829408/Lord-Sainsbury-to-be-Cambridge-University-Chancellor-exit-poll-shows.html
