Mapping for the Gold - Olympics Style:Vancouver’s Olympic Venues






My family & I have really enjoyed this year's Olympic saga. Having some co-workers from Vancouver and parts of Canada added "a nice flair" to watching the events. My favorites - skeleton, short track & anything freestyle. Seemed appropriate to give the Olympics its credit with a map related post. This was first posted online at the NY Times site.
