ReX is an integrated web map and route profile that can be used to delve deep into the details of event routes.  ReX can be added to any Event Map download page.

Features include:

  • When you move your cursor over the route, the position on the profile is shown .. and vice versa – move your position on the profile and see your location on the map.
  • Use the Event Map as a backdrop
  • Optional Satellite map underlay
  • Routes in ReX are also available for use out on the track using the Terrainium TrailSafe app
  • You can view ReX as a single page – click here to try it
  • or ReX can be integrated into your website using a simple iframe element .. like this …

Embedding a ReX map into a web page.

For SINGLE or MULTIPLE EVENTS, embed a HTML code component into the page, then edit the custom HTML and add an <iframe> element like this:

<iframe src="https://www.terrainium.com.au/routeDB/NWTRS/NWTRS.html?
nozoom" height=550 width="100%"></iframe>

Tweak the height (in pixels) and width (as a percentage) values to suit the page – trial and error might be needed to get the right look.

Options

There are a few URL options to alter the behaviour of the application:

  • nosmooth – disables the smooth zoom in from far away to close

  • nolist – disable pulldown list of routes

  • route – When you use nolist, you can specify the route using this option, for example:

NWTRS.html?route=Penguin Short&nolist&nozoom

  • nozoom – disable scroll zoom (recommended) – note that mouse scroll zoom can be toggled interactively using the button on the lower right of the map.

NOTE: 1st option is preceded by “?” subsequent ones by “&”
