Strike 1

Below is the Map that I have developed for the Paths of the Village, or the roads.

First things first: This is the first GIS map of a location in Lebanon to ever be on the web. Credit due: Maroun Kassab

I have to thank 3 people for making this happen:

My wife Ira, my dad Ghassan, and my good friend Jean el Hajj.

This is only the first step. I will see how I can develop this further. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Note: By the way, there is an added line that should not be on the map. I have to get rid of it by hard coding the data. This is just assembelled data by hand beleive it or not.

I will show you how to do this pretty soon.

Back from Lebanon

OK,

I am back from Lebanon. Just wanted to update you on the status of the project. This is what I did. I asked my wife to get me a garmin gps antenna and software for a Christmas gift, and I took them with me to the village. I drove around with a good friend of mine, who helped a lot in gathering information, Mr. Jean el Hajj, and we drove all around the village and gathered track information about all roads.

Now, I have all this data that I need to figure out what to do with. If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know. meanwhile, I am back to the USA, and guess what? A lot of work is awaiting me, so it will be a while before I site back and process this information.
