The Roads to Santiago - Changes 2003-5

  • 25.9.2005 - complete revamp: following on from 18.2.2005 changes, decided that routes pages no longer present a clear overview. So scrapped them and converted to database. Individual routes now available via url 'routes/xxx' where xxx is the db id of the route concerned; besides the map, can also be reached from an alphabetical list. Whilst I was at it, I split many routes into constituent parts, and added quite a bit of extra info, such as total km and highest point.
