Hi Guys,
Just did a GoogleMap mashup for viewing waypoings from a GPX file.

URL : http://sujee.net/projects/gps/waypoint_viewer.php

Features:
* see all your waypoints on a nice map, pan and zoom,
* Search waypoints by keywords. Want to find the waypoint that has
a great sunset view? Just search for term 'sunset'
* look waypoints in a certain area, neighbourhood or town. Want to
find which waypoints are around Yosemite? just center the map around
the park (by typing 'Yosemite National Park' or 'yosemite,ca') and only
waypoings in the vicinity shows up
* Use GoogleMap's satellite imagery
* written in Javascript (utilizes dojo) entirely and all the
calculations are done on client side
* load a gpx file from disk, no need to have it online (the file is
sent to an echo script on server and the reply is read-back; this is to
overcome the security limitation of javascript can not access random
files on disk)

Try a gpx file, if you need a sample, there is one provided on the
page.

Hope some of you might find this useful. Would be great to hear your
comments, specially on how to optimize theUI (I can readily acknowledge
that it can use some help :-)

Thanks

Nice little utility and appeared to work well with several tests I ran using
gpx files downloaded from our site.
I am sure many will find it useful.

I tried two or three files and it seemed to work well. Nice utility.

HI,
Can I take a look at your GPX file? you can post it here, or mail it
to me directly.

Are you using Firefox browser? The site works on Firefox; I haven't
tested on IE or Safarai.
