BogMonster Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Steve, can you recognise anything here? Lots of things Stanley harbour, most of it anyway.... Really can't make out any of the roads in town but the one heading off to the south is the one to the rubbish dump, and you can clearly see the road to the airport from where it passes just on the bottom of the "box" crosshair over my house, and heads off east to the airport. Top right corner, Yorke Bay, full of mines The crosshair over my house is in pretty much exactly the right place, so their grid referencing onto the photo is pretty good Floating dock on the south side of the harbour and the old disused Navy dock on the north side. If you remember that thread a while back with the bogged Hitachi digger, if you look down below the "50.433" about an inch down (on a 17" monitor) you can just about see the hole I reckon How about a picture from 51 deg 42.680 min S, 60 deg 04.754 min W - that's our farm, a GPS waypoint in Dad's front yard, would be interesting to see if that is any clearer never seen Google Earth before but I could waste a lot of time on there I am sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 oh yeah, we got introduced to Flash Earth at work that uses google earth for free and we used to spend most of our time, urrgh, I mean lunch breaks looking around at what we could find, the military aircraft graveyards in America are scary in size think I counted just on one grouping 100 Phantoms, and that was just one little group amongst this sea of aircraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Interesting bit of a lack of detail in the last 2 though - need a better lens [rummage] that's better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake110 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 No but theres an interesting "crop circle" at 53°32'18.88"N, 1°20'48.94"W Can also see my old car parked at work, but home is in the out of focus bit...... Jon lol very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehetabel Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Unfortunately that whole area is out of focus on the free version :-( it is not out of focus, it is only 5 m resolution imagery which means that each pixel [element] covers 5 m of real world. This scale is typically used for agribusiness and state/ regional mapping. For the detail that we are looking for we need meter or submeter imagery such as is available over most of the major cities in google earth. And yes if you park/ break down in the same spot for a long time you can then "find" your Landie on google earth: 39.38.44N 104.54.49 cheers Your Local Geospatial Analyst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattD110td5x Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 What about the white rectangle at; 33*46'29.02" 151*10'36.57"[E] it looks like the roof of a D110, I think I can just see the exhaust - yes it's a Td5, probably MY2000 ttfn Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
