GOLDEN RATIO! That made my day.
This is a very lovely feature fetch.

Future thingie, probably not useful to many - Flickr image embedding as well / instead?

OK - yes, an F5 now puts it roughly right. Although not exactly in the position that I left it - there is still something not quite right in those back-of-the-envelope(*) calcs not quite right.

(*) literally.

That's a lovely one LM. Katie and I were trying to work out what the red lines were near your route. Ski lifts?

PtB - your browser will be caching all the images from the site, hence the need to F5. There's a bit of rounding in there, that might explain small shifts - when you crop on client side, it calculates percentages for the min and max XY positions - so that they can be applied easily to images of varying sizes on the server. Again, it's something that is more of an issue with smaller images.

Thanks for explaining F5 ;-)

Tried with a bigger-than-hole picture, worked fine.

I still think it's a bit too 'panorama-y', the aspect ratio of your hole. (so to speak)

Thanks fetch - red lines - yes, the must be ski lift routes. Strangely some of the cable car ones aren't there though - i.e. the big scary one to Aiguille du Midi.
This is all going a bit Frankie Howerd.

I've just remembered that it was my boy that suggested this to me. Looking forward to letting him know how it's going :-)

The trout one made me laugh. I guess other pictures like race photos, or groups shots of the those who ran could also be uploaded. It's a lovely feature (but I really shouldn't look at it when stuck in an office)

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Hiya Fetchies

If you like sharing routes, or if you like taking pictures whilst you're out and about, or possibly both, then give this a try...

You can now add a nice pic to each of your routes e.g. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1705913 to show other runners just exactly how lovely your route is (or conversely, just what you have to put up with). If you make the route public, there's a handy URL for sharing, or a button that will do a Tweet for you. There's also a little voting panel, so you can vote up the ones you like the best (so we can hopefully generate a nice list of the most-loved routes).

I know that there are plenty more improvements to be made to the routes tool (particularly if you need to edit an existing route), and I'm working through some of those. I also intend to give you the opportunity to record times against each others routes, so you can do league tables if that's the sort of thing that floats your boat

More to come then, but I thought you might like to try the pictures.
