Drive route

YouTube is great for sharing Real-time drive videos, but not so great at letting us know the route of the drive. Real-time drive provides a quick way to check out real-time drives and then watch the video for the selected Real-time drive on YouTube.

Select a Real-time drive from the following drop-down list and then click Show Real-time drive to show the Real-time drive on the map. Below the map click on the Watch Real-time drive Video to watch the Real-time drive video on YouTube.

Background

What started with me taking short videos of red light and speed cameras around Melbourne evolved into taking longer videos as I could afford better technology. The longer videos then became real-time drives. My thought was to watch the real-time drives later whilst riding on an exercise bike. I enjoy taking the videos and I hope you enjoy watching the too.

Real-time drive starts and displays the latest real-time drive.at your location. Select a Real-time drive from the list and click Show Real-time drive to show the route for the Real-time drive. The read-time drive is centred on the map. Zoom in and out to see the level of detail you require.

After selecting a Real-time drive and clicking Show Real-time drive a link to the Real-time drive video will appear below the map. Click on the link to watch the video in YouTube.
