Test using Google Earth to display Mountain Bike trail
Just trying to elicit some comments on using Google Earth to map Mountain
Bike trails. Here's a link to a test that I created. http://www.tccycling.com//maps/peavi...e_pea_test.htm Follow the directions on the page. The tour is still a little rough but should be easily correctable. Thanks, Pete Rissler |

Thanks, Pete Rissler Nice job. Do you have a gps system, 'cos if you do and for $20 a year you can download your gps routes into Google Earth. I track mine mainly because there's no high res coverage of Trinidad and Tobago and you can't buy trail maps. I should be able to create a pretty comprehensive trail map by the end of next year. Laters, Marcus |

Laters, Marcus you mean, google earth PRO, right? Can you get terra server coverage of where you live? My understanding is that the terra server pics have much better resolution than the sattelite stuff that you get via GE. Penny |

If you're not getting a 3D image make sure Terrain is checked in either the
Layers Window or under the View Window. Pete |

My understanding is that the terra server pics have much better resolution than the sattelite stuff that you get via GE. Penny The Google Earth stuff that is around Reno, NV is Color Aerials (that the county flew) they are about the same resolution as the Terra Server Black and Whites. Outside the Metropolitan areas, most of Nevada on Google Earth are color satellite images which have much less resolution than the black and whites. I do have access to all the available USGS aerial (DOQQ) photos of Nevada at work. These are the same Black and Whites that are on Terra Server. Next year Nevada will be flown and color aerials will be taken of the entire State as part of the US Dept of Ag's NAIP program. This will be the same resolution as the USGS Black and White aerials but in color. The final product should be out in 2007. Hopefully these will show up in Google Maps. California was flow this year so products should be out next year. http://www.apfo.usda.gov/NAIP.html |
