+reepicheep Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 And now they've added Google Earth. Real interesting.... In addition to the basic features, Google Earth Plus includes: * GPS integration – read tracks and waypoints from your GPS. * Higher resolution printing (greater than screen resolution). * Customer support via email (not just web). * Annotation – adds draw/sketch tools for richer annotations (can be shared as KML). * Data importer – read address points from .csv files.

+Sliverboy Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 just downloaded the basic version. Very cool Quote
+lessilly Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 For fellow map geeks - there is now a hybrid button on google maps. It overlaps the satellite view with the road map view. Pretty cool! Quote
+tabulator32 Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I have been addicted to www.maps.google since I discovered it in the forums a few days ago. I want to try Google Earth but it is not yet available for Mac. One thing I noticed just a few minutes ago while looking at my office on maps.google.com is the evidence that the map screens are comprised of numerous satellite images taken at various times. My office bulding had a shadow sprawling off to the NW while the water tower across the street was headed off towards the NE. Either the sun came much closer than its typical 93 million miles or they did an excellent job of seamlessly matching all those images to assemble the screens we view. It was an amusing image, but still impressive! Quote
+Markwell Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Heh. I'll one up you on that. I've seen areas where there are green crops of corn or beans and this vertical line down the map, where to the west it's white as the freshly fallen snow. Quote

+vespax Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 Update google earth and you will get support for GPX file formats. This means you can load all your pocket query's as a temp place in earth now, and link to the cache page directly from google earth. Quote
Jeremy Posted August 12, 2005 Posted August 12, 2005 It always supported GPX. The Keyhole version I believe did not. Quote
