holy crap this is cool!
google earth

I am going on a wheeling trip this weekend and I was able to find road and directions with it. It gives you a 3d view (satellite images) of canyons and mountain and as you mouse over the map it gives you gps coordinates.

check it out... it's free.

I know is chit chat but you guys should check it out.If it needs to be moved then so be it.

it's just bad ass!

It is cool. I was able to see what road to take and where to turn from one valley to another (heber Valley through AF canyon down to utah Valley)

What a find! With all these topo programs going for >$50, I can't believe it's free.

Rats! I left Pirate to play on GoogleEarth and discovered that they don't yet support Macintosh. :mad3:

my wife will love that site. she is a GIS guru and does computer mapping. actually, she'll probably tell me it's old news to her. she used to make all my topos for me at work and print them out for free. :flipoff2:

Old News

Same as Terraserver, with the added notations... I like.

 

[BionicCruiser]

way better than Terraserver. it's color and you can tilt rotate the view. wife already downloaded it. even she is impressed.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

i finally played w/ it last night. the resolution is WAY better than Terraserver. my wife says it is exactly what she used to make for customers. now it is available on the web for free! the 3-D, rotate, color, etc. is way cool. what a great new tool.

Rusty, does the trail start where the word "streaming" ends and then heads "up" along what looks like a stream bed (from what I can see)?

 

[cruzerman350]

i should really read directions. :shaking: i just spent forever downloading and now i read that my damn dial up isnt fast enough for this thing. :mad3: damn. i was really looking forward to seeing my house and all the crap in the yard :laughing:

Thats the dirt road leading to the first hard obstacle. THere is actually a pretty long dirt road in with a few ledges and small slabs leading in the the first tough spot is right in the middle of the screen, from there it snakes along the rim of the canyon on the left. Its easy for me to see but I would guess that if you have only been there a few times or never it would be hard to see.
