Looking for the address of one of those three German Olympic pavilions, the beer-fest one in the parking lot or the one in Stanley Park? Want to know where Park & Rides are in Richmond? Trying to find the International Olympic Committee’s invitation-only marketing club?
The Vancouver Sun has created an interactive Google map containing just about every Olympic location and event you could want.
Official 2010 competition and non-competition venues, sponsor houses, Canadian federal, provincial and city pavilions, celebration sites, Park & Ride lots, Olympic Bus Network locations, free bicycle valet services, media facilities, road closures, Olympic pedestrian malls, cruise ship services, and the obligatory SkyTrain, Canada Line and WestCoast Express stations.
We even listed the location of the three RCMP cruise ships, safely ensconced as they are behind security fencing. We’ve also linked useful websites to many of the map pointers, such as event schedules for each of the Olympic venues and programming information for celebration sites.
The map is so complex that Google apparently can’t handle all of the information on one page; many of the transportation services have spilled over to a second page.
And we’re still looking for more. If you have tips on events or facilities we’ve missed, e-mail [email protected].
You can access the map at www.vancouversun.com/olympicmap.
