‘morning guys,
I’m still on my journey across Europe and have now reached the area around Audabiac, Lussan, in France. I am on the D6 road traveling west running between the D144 junction and the D979 junction. The white dots on just this stretch on road have drop shadows! They are not very good drop shadows, I expected them to be cast at a similar angle to those shadows cast by the bike, which they are not, they are also not very sharp. However they are still drop shadows. Actually while on the subject of these dots, what is their approximate pitch? This has intrigued me for sometime. I assume it is based on the frequency at which Google take the photos.
Comment about the selected route and I realise VZfit may be limited by what Google Maps offer. I’m on a virtual bike, there is really no need for me to travel along the main routes, the one thing I’m not in is; a hurry ;-) Google offer a walking route which would be more visually interesting to virtually travel. A further enhancement but not offered by Google, even on their walking route, would be to not by-pass the towns and villages. If you are in a real car and wanting to get from A to B I can understand why you might not wish to travel via the village centres, and indeed why some villages would not want you passing through polluting and endangering the area. But I’m doing neither, I’m a virtual traveler, and wish to enjoy visually what these villages have to offer.
Even if I can’t stop for a little coffee and brandy at the local café while passing ;-)
