What's the mileage cutoff that you're for populating the next set of drop downs -- 11 or 12 miles?
Glad, you find it usefull! DaveP deserves part of the credit for setting me up with a place to host it..
Yes, I think the mileage cutoff is something like 10-12 miles... but its not actually any set number.
The planner is really pretty poorly designed, so it doesn't automatically check all the next campsites to see which ones are within range, but the database I created contains for each campsite all the other sites that are within reach of that site... And so when I was adding all that data I just put in the sites that I felt like I'd consider doing in a days hike...
Plus there are also some of missed..
I would like to redesign it so that campsites were all stored as a network, with mileage between each node of the network, and then the calculator could just traverse the network from the current node and find all sites that were within the mileage cutoff.....
But initially, I just went with a manual brute force approach, and have never gotten around to doing it correctly..
If you find anything that looks odd or wrong, or find missing data that you'd like me to add, let me know. Its relatively easy to update it now, especially if you know the missing or correct mileages or elevation changes...
