I've been having a play on Google Maps, adding tasmanian climbing and bouldering locations.
Check it out: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&hl=en&msid=115102596344199739296.00000111c43697ba392d0

In some cases it is quite useful, in others not.

    Dave H started a new google map to record some of the boulders he's found about the place: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=115989656407107465266.00046d738268eb40057a0&ll=-41.368564,146.453247&spn=2.300307,4.938354&z=8

    I've merged this one, plus my old google map above, plus the GPS data in the guides, into one map, and added a link on the front page ("Climbing Map"). Any new data in any of the 3 sources should automatically show up.

    As Jon mentioned I have created a map of various bouldering locations I have visited lately. This map is open to any collaborators at the moment so if you have visited an area and want to describe it so others can visit or explore (or just warn them not to waste their time) add a marker and brief description.

    I have some more stuff for the east coast that I will add when I find it.

    The map url is above.

      Dave, I just had a look but could't see how to add a marker? i know of a couple of spots that fit in both of the above catagories (i.e. potenially ok or definitely shit).

      Cheers

        You need to be logged in with a google account? Then you should have an "Edit" button at the top of the list of places, and clicking that gives an icon on the top left of the map that lets you drop a marker onto the map.

          I made my old google map editable as well so people can add stuff

          Hmm, that makes sense...

    I've got an experimental tas geology Google Earth layer, you can download it here: http://www.thesarvo.com/confluence/download/attachments/1622/tasgeo.kmz

    Seems to work, but slows down Google Earth heaps.

    Seems to work best if you turn off all the layers, and then only show the ones you are interested in eg -Rsp is sandstone.
