How to work on international assignment.

After you record your path with Garmin GPS device, bring the device to me, I will take the data file off, and post it online.(I will send you URL)

Also, please make notes of which file is who's path.( Ex:”10-JUN-07: Mariko 1, 10-JUN-07 002 :Lisa 1) .

Here is what you are going to do.

1. sign on to Google Maps (don't use NN class account, you have your own account. use same username/password as you use for blogger)

2. search the URL I sent you. the path will show up on the map

3. click “my map” tab

4. create new map, and annotate. (in anycase you lost your path, always saech the URl agin)

5. After you finish annotation. click "link to this page".

6. Copy the URL and send the URL to me.

After I got your annotation link, I will combine two file (path and annotation) together and create full annotated path.

It would be nice if you could send me the annotation link by Tuesday night(6/26). so that I can make all the completed file by Wednesday class.

How to use Garmin

I have map(s)/Lost

I have a map/Lost.

I always carry my map inside of my notebook both in Philly and in Rome. Also In tokyo when I go somewhere I don’t know, I always carry my map. Map is my life line.
I think before I stared biking in city, I didn’t know how to read map. I was really bad at knowing direction to somewhere.
Now I know how to use map and it is such important element of my biking life.
I’m so glad that both Philly and Rome map fits inside of the book. In Tokyo, I need to carry twice as thick book all maps.
One more map I love. “Google maps” it is amazing application. so now not only Google the word I don’t now, I Google the address I’m not familiar with.

Although I had map, I once lost in Rome.
Than was first day in Rome, after we had dinner. I was in the middle of historic center, near Spanish steps. Now it is easy to know where I am and how to go back, but at that point, I didn’t know where I am. I usually have good sense of going back home, but that day I was lust lost, and biking around the city. I tried to guess where I am from street name, but I couldn’t. Finally I have got to Trevi fountain, and happened to know where I am.
