Maps on CGOAB

I've been reading more CGOAB journals lately trying to come up with
touring ideas. I'm surprised that so few people use the amazing
mapping feature on the site though. I find journals with maps to be
amazingly more helpful, because in a glance I know exactly where their
route takes them. Several I was just reading not only didn't have
maps, but had nearly no route information, so I can't easily just
follow their tracks without trying to send messages. For my journal, I
used a map of the full route in the beginning, and then each days
entry has the route I took that day. It only took me a tiny bit of
extra time to put that on there, and now anyone can download the gpx
file and modify it or use it as part of their route if they choose. If
you're writing any CGOAB journals this year, you should consider
putting on some maps.
