RDY_2_Carve Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Thought you all would dig this. I can see the runs at my local resort from 15km up. Neat stuff... World Wind 180MB download. Enjoy! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleaman Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I love looking at satelite photos, especially of my area. I can see lakes and roads with a bit of relief in the terrain. I haven't checked out the program yet, is it free? I wish I had more time to check it out, maybe this weekend. Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 There is hackers in France that managed to mix it with our national geographic mapping system, which makes u have 1/25000th maps of the whole country... I wish Europe had the same 1m precision that that of the US, but it seems that our sat maps are not as easy to see for common people here.... The cool stuff is you can send links with coordinated of the targeted area to friends in email so they can watch them... Who starts a " resort" page with links to them carve spots??? Nils PS: beware with Worldwind: every image you download is in your computer cache and it can get HUGE! Mine is at 8 GB already full of maps! N.

Steve Dold Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 USAPhotomaps is also a great program, but it's not as impressive as Worldwind. I can't get Worldwind to install on my machine, I think it's more than the computer can handle. I wish I could, the images from it look really slick. USAPhotomaps is amazing though if you just want something to look at topo and photo images. You can see the lat/lon and elevation as you move your mouse pointer around.

outsider Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Lat/long: 37.233 N, 115.817 W i thought the only picture of the place was from a russian spy satelite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Dold Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Another mapping thing, web-based with good zoom/panning, this is good for creating routes and figuring mileages for running and cycling. http://www.sueandpaul.com/gmapPedometer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Haven't had time to download any of these, but how do they compare to Google Earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
