Virtual rowing trip game ???
Virtual rowing trip game ???
Hey folks, a while ago ( years, not months!) I saw a 'game' where you rowed from point A to point B.
What I remember is that there was a map and photos of your 'trip'. I'm starting back into erging and thought it would be a good motivator, but I can't find it.
Anybody else remember this or know where I can get it?
TIA

Thanx for the link. If I had a PM4 that would be cool.
I was thinking of something a lot more low tech. It was like a board game.

THANK YOU! I was beginning to think I'd moved from imaginary friends to imaginary games!
I decided to use google maps and make my own virtual trip and use the street view, to see my progress.
I may automate this at some point, but for right now, I'm tracking my total and then choosing the appropriate spot.
Thanx for the info!

You're welcome.
Where do you plan to 'go'?
In addition, you may want to join our team - Lunatics. We are going to the moon and back.

Re: Virtual rowing trip game ???
I have software that I am in the process of developing that does just that: row from point A to point B in a virtual environment. You can see a pre-alpha video of it at http://deltarower.com. I am currently looking for alpha testers...if anyone is interested, please drop me a line tech@deltarower.com.

Thanx for the deltarower info.
I'm headed from Nampa, ID to the Ferry Dock in Anacortes, WA. (959K). Once there I plan on touring the San Juan Islands.
Right now I've barely made it out of my neighborhood, but starting is better than not starting!
