learning new tech
I am having fun re-creating our Drachenwald 30-Year road trip route in https://kurviger.de/en which I will then export as xml, so, in theory, I will be able to pull it into google Earth and do an animation of the trip, to go with the photos of all the runestones, rock art, castles, etc. that we saw along the way. This crazy hobby just got even crazier!
Stay tuned for the final result, later. Probably much later, since we have Frostheim Medieval Days next week...

1.5 hours after posting I managed to get it this far:
Step one was look at my GoogleMaps Timeline, and make a spreadsheet of where all we stopped.
Step two was to create an account at https://kurviger.de/en and put all of those stops in to my route (plus as many other stops as were needed to make the route follow the actual path we used).
Step three was to export as a xml file, and open it in GoogleEarth, change the colour to white (which has much better contrast to the default purple), and then take a screen shot.
Later I will learn how to animate that...
I also need to do the data entry for the trip home, which isn't the same route (except where it has to be)
