Future Work / Conclusions

• Need better trail maps to produce more accurate
  portrayals of ride
• A similar path can be followed for practically
  any GIS data to make it accessible from the web
  without GIS software needed.
• Thanks to Dr. Maidment, Bree Ferguson, my
  classmates who helped me throughout the semester.
