Who is he? Who knows – he’s wearing a mask.
Zorro? The Lone Ranger? A cat burglar? Who know – but I recently found this masked man lurking in the map of Victoria, BC, and I had to cycle 37 kilometres (23 miles) to flush him out.
Here’s another GPS doodle that I designed after I spotted the general shape in Victoria’s map (à la “The art of giraffe spotting“.)
Again, this doodle was one continuous route, though the quick-paced straightaways were punctuated by stairways and steep rocky paths that required me to awkwardly “portage” in my cycling cleats.
To flush this masked man out of hiding, I had to cycle 37.1 kilometres (23 miles).
Note: I rotated the mapped image 90º CCW for ease of viewing.

So what inspired you for this graphical ride? A certain turn of the “nose” in a route? 😀

Hey Jean – I was just poring over the map and saw a shape that looked like a face in profile. I started tracing out some routes and this is what emerged. (For a while I thought it might be Batman but I couldn’t find roads to make pointed ears.)
