Title: Google Earth failed me. I need an app. Post by: schild on August 16, 2008, 04:44:12 PM Anyone know of an app, other than photoshop, for pinpointing locations and travel paths that can do transatlantic stuff. Working on a project and no application I can find will do it in a nice cohesive, dynamic (can pick which path to show, etc) way.
Anyone know of one? Title: Re: Google Earth failed me. I need an app. Post by: Tale on August 16, 2008, 05:42:49 PM No, but how do Austrians tell where they are if every street has the same name? (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Schild,+Schenkenfelden,+Austria&ie=UTF8&z=16)
Title: Re: Google Earth failed me.

I don't know of anything that can do that, but I'm curious as well. I'd end up combining Google Maps with Expedia or Orbitz probably. Title: Re: Google Earth failed me.

You could always just use the measuring tool to draw a line from point-to-point. (http://www.clisham.com-a.googlepages.com/Picture4.jpg) Title: Re: Google Earth failed me.

http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/explorer/index.html ESRI is basically the lead company in GIS. have this program loaded on a work computer and haven't tinkered too much with it, it is basically their response to google earth.

Use this software daily, well the ArcGIS version. I can spec out any type of mapping need, just give me the details. Title: Re: Google Earth failed me.

(http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Schild,+Schenkenfelden,+Austria&ie=UTF8&z=16) Our superior intellect and spatial awareness at work. We have the world best school for carrier pigeons, where they learn to navigate via the earths magnetic field FROM US. That, or Schenkenfelden is a small village with 1500 people, and Schild is actually how one of seven areas of the village is called. The cities name is "Tavern in the field", I'm in awe that google Earth even found it. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Google Earth failed me.
