Thanks Phil, it looks really useful.

I have noticed a couple of issues with rides local to me.

JWA01 "Surrey Hills" has a control at Coldharbour but the map shows a Coldharbour in Gloucestershire. I changed the lat/long to the correct Coldharbour for this ride and I don't think any rides use the Glos one.

Clicking on Richmond upon Thames on the map brings up "The Ditchling Devil" which is correct, but also DA01, DA04, DA05 and AC19 which start or control in Richmond in North Yorkshire. I wasn't sure how to add a new control to the list so have left it for a more competent person.

DA02 and DA03 start in Richmond, North Yorkshire but as "Richmond" isn't in the control list they don't appear in either place on the map.

Wellington for all my events should be the one in Shropshire, not Somerset.

Sorted

Hi,

I have run the Haversine equations over the data to calculate the straight line distance between stated controls. The following almost certainly have an incorrectly placed control. I have put my name against the first ones I am going to tackle. If others could do the same.

Bah, thought I'd sorted them, IIRC I did it as "Richmond NYorks"; can't see the data from here though.

I'm not sure if I don't know how to use it, or I'm just using it wrong.

When I zoom in on an area, then click on a dot to show rides near that control, if I click on a ride and then go back to the menu, there doesn't seem to be anyway of getting back to my original "show dots on the map" view without clicking "All filtered events", which then jumps me back out to the zoomed out map again.

Am I just doing it wrong?

Right it only zooms out to show entire set of marker clusters on first load now. If switching between an event and all events it leaves the map as it is. It was driving me mad as I went through looking for the mistakes in control locations!

GB02 - Scottish Star - Nothing looks out of place
GB03 - Round the Coast, Location of Oban is wrong; but otherwise looks right - I found this to be 100km overdistance when I RWGPSed it
GB04 - Eightsome reel - Also looks right, could be considerably underdistance at straight line?

really must do work...

citoyen · « **Reply #164 on:** 03 October, 2018, 10:43:29 am »

I had a look at the website, very impressed. Thought I'd check out my own perm (DK01) to see how it looks but couldn't find it. Turns out that's because it was missing the start/finish from the list of controls... I've now added those to the document.

Neil C · « **Reply #165 on:** 03 October, 2018, 10:49:49 am »

PST01 - Moved Ashington control from Northumberland to Sussex

SP08, SP35 - Repatriated St Clears from a cul-de-sac in Reigate back to Wales

MR09, MR10 - Repatriated Lochinver from Potters Bar back to Scotland

You can now go directly to an event by adding the event no to the end of the url.

Such as https://long-distance.rocks/auk/map/perms/AC03

Might make loooking at the highlighted over distance a bit quicker.

I have pasted this list onto 'Sheet 5' so checkers are best to go there and note ID against ones they will do or have done.
Without teaching grannies to suck eggs, when someone finds a lat/long which is 'wrong' before correcting it (I'm using Streetmap.co.uk) they need to search the spreadsheet for all the other instances of that control name and check that there aren't two places of the same name being used for this effort. For example (in Tom Fox's from Alfreton) I've changed Sudbury to Sudbury Derbyshire, as there was another Sudbury in East Anglia being used, and inserted Sudbury Derbyshire and its lat/long in the Control Mapping.

Right going to pull the data down again for the mapping and see what that leaves us.

Ok that's just bizzare; the most likely confusion with Crossgates in Fife is between Crossgates the village and the Crossgate in Cupar; but no it's picked up the set of houses in Pitlessie called Crossgates; fairly sure there won't be any controls at that unless someone buys a house there and is happy to stamp cards on demand!

I'd originally had to force that one to map to fife as there are other Crossgates in the world!

At least it wasn't Windygates.

Cannae fix it from here though.
