Quick and dirty page to at least get something out there for all the kind folks visiting my Google / Geocache hack. I'll update this later, with real information, and maybe even some instructions on how to use the script. For now, just keep in mind that:

1. This is a hack. It might not work. In fact, I'd be amazed if it worked on anything other than my own systems.
2. This uses data that doesn't belong to me, or to you (unless you work for Google, and even then...). Don't use the maps inappropriately.

I still have to clean up my GPX parser (well, not so much a parser as a very dirty hack that just runs through line-by-line to create a CSV file). And also the script that actually plots the data on the maps. And especially the script that outputs an XML file for the GMaps Standalone mode. I'll get to them, I promise. :)

And thanks also to Karl Lohner for cluing me into using GD to assemble the map (calls to "montage" were REALLY slow for big maps).

In the meantime, enjoy!
