You go abroad for a trip and, of course, you carry your GPS. On arrival on a
campsite or stop you have a beer and you pull your mobile phone and GPS from
your pocket. You type an SMS text message with your coordinates.

Why should you do this? Because once the SMS message arrives at the server,
your personal home page is updated with a Google Map, indicating your actual
position. You can add a picture to it, right from your digital camera. The
home fromt sees the little dots on the map, thus creating your trip track
log. Others can sign your guestbook so you keep contact. You can create a
trip log yourself, on the campsite computer or by a quick message in your
tent or hotel.

See how Walter on his Honda does this, 6 weeks long, in peru, Brazil, Chile
and other South American countries:

Once your back home, you add some more pics and others can see your
beautiful trip log. They can download the trail to their Tomtom, GPS or
whatever device it is, to do the same trail. You can fly over the globe
using the Google Earth link, showing your trip with all the pictures. Set it
to 3D and you fly back to that place where you had such fun.

This service is free, and there's no catch. Just have fun with your bike and
GPS! Site currently in Dutch and English.

So, let's have a look on www.poi66.com how to register to such a service.
Click the register icon in the top right corner. Any trouble getting it to
work? Send a helpme email to me, in English or Dutch.

Could the person who posted an abuse message on this topic to Wanadoo, email
me at [email protected] to explain why this would be spam? I't's just a
free service which takes me hours to build for other people's fun.

It wasn't me, but I tell you this group receives a lot of spam.
Basically, if you're not known here, url posting is considered spam by
default.

Otherwise it's probably OT rubbish.
