Description
An alumnus of Falmouth High School, I am familiar with roads and trails in Falmouth, ME. Participation in the cross country and track programs in high school propel my interest in mapping the running routes in my hometown. Typical runs within Falmouth range from 2 to 12 miles in length. While these routes are easily accessible, many recreational runners are not aware of them, so a collection of run information including distance, elevation, traffic, and water hazards would be beneficial. All of this information can be digitally referenced using a mapping program called ArcGIS. In addition to 2-dimensional maps of routes, 3-dimensional fly-by maps can be formulated, giving viewers a virtual tour of the topography and experience of a particular run. Residents of Falmouth can be supplied with poster of this data viewable in the high school and Falmouth Town Hall.
