My maps won't be hard to beat. Whatcha got?

If you would like to generate a free map for yourself and add it to this thread, here's how:

  • Use Notepad or a simple text editor to type up a list of your trips for the year (like what I did above - one trip per line).
  • Go to www.gcmap.com
  • Click on the white button to the left of ‘Map paths’ in the Quick Usage Guide section.
  • Find the ‘Map Controls’ text box, clear out the text that’s in there and paste the list that you typed up in Notepad/etc with your trips.
  • Press the white button just below that text button to generate the map. You can edit the text in the box if you got something wrong, or want to delete a line (reclicking the white button below it of course).
  • Get a screen grab or (if on an iPhone or iPad) hold your finger down on the map and select ‘Add to Photos’.

bill's RV map

I've had my RV for 14 months now, but going strictly by calendar year, 277 hours total time this year, and 87 of that in the RV.

Looking at the map, I gotta branch out more....

My 2021 RV flying
60 flights, ~50 hours, ~7200nm but never flew further from home airport than 74nm from 1H0 (Creve Coeur MO) to HAE (Hannibal MO) and back.
Every minute was great

How are you guys generating these maps?

Edit: Disregard that stupid question... Reread Doug's original post.

Although, Philip your map looks extra awesome. Would like to know what you used.

Here's mine - the trip to Prince Edward Island was the highlight. It is a return trip that followed nearly an identical route. The second map is everything other than that trip. Much of it was IFR training.

Overall it was a record year for me, 105 flights for 117.6 hours on the Hobbs. Hope to knock out the last 5 hours of my IFR training in the next month or so and get the flight test done.

BTW, I generated these with a custom web app that I wrote, link in my signature. Sorry, not easily transferable.

I use Garmin BaseCamp to map my flights. It's a free download from garmin.com. You can import any .gpx tracks into the program from flying, driving, biking, or hiking trips.

The exported tracklogs from my non-touch G3X import nicely into the program,
 
This is the first year I got my RV, so obviously I was way too excited and logged 160 hours....

Although, Philip your map looks extra awesome. Would like to know what you used.

I used FlyQ EFB to track my flights and then Export the GPX file to GPS HD by Motion X on my iPad to plot. Unfortunately Motion X no longer supports GPS HD app so it is not available anymore. I use it for tracking my hiking and biking as well and have years of track files stored in the app.

Cool !!

...My travels were pathetic in 2021...
My excuse???
Almost all my free time finishing the 8... heck, I only played one game of golf last summer... :rolleyes:
So 9 hours in the Cessna, 3 destinations.
But since Novevember 20, 16 hours in the 8, only at CNV9 and maximum 25 NM due to restrictions.
Can't wait for these to be lifted (after 25 hours) and use the 8 to travel around !!!

Well that's a bummer. Thanks for the info.
 
Our 2021

We flew about 170 hours on our RVs this year. First year in 25 years we did not fly to west coast, but still saw some country, including Kitty Hawk and Hudson River NYC.

Was a good year!

I've been an incredible slacker this year in my RV! Only 85 hours and barely broke out of Texas... but hey, Texas is a pretty big state. I did better last year with 156 hours and several trips ranging from Seattle to Eastport, Maine.

And, in defense of my slackerness, I still have the day job flying a 737 and also did 110-ish hours flying various CAF warbird types around the country... all that really cuts into my RV time.

C'mon Vlad, we're waiting to see your map! :p

Nice reach John! This year was not the best for me. Was hit hard by the virus May/June then in August a piston got burned through. Closing the year with mostly local flying under 200 hours. High hopes for 2022 :)
 
A little over 100hrs this year. There’s more local flights than these, but what a great travel machine.

5 months and 55 hours later, my 6A is a blast. Lots of bucket list places left to go including flying into OSH.

Tim if you ever get the itch to come north stop in FL54, I’d love to show my wife what we are in for.
 
Crud…

Fractured the wrist today. Was going to spend the next week flying around Florida. NOT 🥺

Anyway just hit 200 hours. Here’s the map:

2021 didn't happen...

Feels like I just took a spin around the block, no real road trips... lots of formation though
