Part of our final pre-launch milestone (Milestone 1.5) was to clean up the bugs with the site. This evening we cleaned up the last of those bugs and we are getting very close to being able to launch the site.
The last feature we are adding before going in to public beta is a new way of uploading trails which is very exciting! We are changing the trail adding system to be able to handle uploads from ANY GPS device to the site. This was functionality we envisioned for well down the road but we found a way to get it in in time for launch.
admin Development milestone 1.5, trail adding
Well after two months of work ATVTrailFind is ready for launch (at least the back end software). We have completed all the development steps for Milestone 1. MS1 was the initial building of the site allowing users to submit, and view trails.
Next up for us is to complete Milestone 1.5 which basically is making sure there are no bugs in the functionality we have now and then begin adding trails. We are aiming to start promoting the site around the net and within the ATV community around March 15th (our tentative completion date for MS1.5 is).
Bring on the site!

We’ve taken advantage of google’s new terrain map feature and made it the default when viewing trails. I figured I’d try this out and see if this view is more meaningful then the usual political/default map view.
Feel free to post comments on the changes and let me know if you prefer one of the other map views!

Another big Milestone 1 item was completed today. You can now search for trails!
We have 15 days to go until our first major milestone target date and this was one of two remaining major to-dos! Next up is the trail addition interface and we are good to go for getting ready for launch.
admin Development Finding trails, Milestone 1, Searching
Milestone 1 is our first major milestone here at atvtrailfind and we are super excited to be getting close. What all is involved with MS1? It is the basic guts of the site: being able to register as a user, submit trails, view trails, find trails, etc.
Our current deadline for MS1 is the end of February with an official launching of the site shortly thereafter.
We’ll be updating this blog for no on with details on what to expect from the dev team and details on the cool stuff we are working towards!
