Mockups and Design

Craig Brickser from CTD Trail Design provided the base GIS layer gave the map some depth. I then used reference points, old GPS data from previous rides and exploratory rides to overlay this onto the maps, to create the trail lines. There is a fine line with regards to how much, or how little detail to show on public facing maps, so there was some trial and error. Included are some early versions, and mockups of the existing trails.

This main map was (and is still) used to create the individual loop maps at the hub of each trail.

Final Version

Lesson: Maps are not static … shortcuts, additions, changes, removals and closures make them a on-going maintenance component 🙂 read more
