Hey guys!

I'm toying with the idea of a side project for my website. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in the idea as a whole and possibly contributing.

But first, I want to make sure there isn't anything currently out there like this in Taiwan (in English).

Are there any Internet maps of Taiwan with motorcycle routes drawn in? And even better, with descriptions and pictures of what to find on those routes?

I'm an offroad guy myself, and have found it difficult to find offroad trails in English. Most trails I find are with the help of google maps or some blog posts or something with not so easy directions.

My thinking is to host a map with routes drawn on it, and with some photos and descriptions of what will be seen on those routes.

It certainly is fun to discover things on your own by chance, but sometimes you just wanna get out there and ride at a moment's notice and don't want to spend the time planning things out. That's where this would come in handy.

Or for those unfamiliar trips to the other end of the island by yourself. You'll have your own "tour guide" sorta.

I've found some mapping software with route drawing integration I can host on my site. There aren't many offroad guys, so this would be for tarmac routes mostly I think.

Are there any resources out there doing something like this already?

Would you be interested in something like this? (be honest. it won't hurt my feelings.

Lastly, would you be interested in contributing routes/trails you know of with some pics and descriptions? (I'll figure out how best to do this part later)

Thanks for your opinions and any suggestions you can offer.

To follow up on this, I've been carrying a gps with me to map my rides. I've posted a few on my blog. This is a prototype of what I'm wanting to put together. Ultimately I want one map with all the trails/routes shown that can be clicked for a closer look. The (free) maps I'm using now only allow one route and little else. I've found another map that allows a lot of customization but costs.

Anyway, have a look and tell me what you think.
