lol, this is so cool, we're wasting precious IM time discussin it

7/5/2005 11:31:59 PM

Well damn. How long did that take you?

7/6/2005 7:31:12 AM

NCSU took me about three hours

and the communities took me about 5 hours

7/6/2005 11:03:23 AM

the download link is up again

7/7/2005 10:11:54 AM

do the images look any better with the paid version?

7/7/2005 10:25:16 PM

Took me ~5 minutes to find Carter-Finley Stadium without any labels turned on. It's kind of fun to just try and figure out where you are. You can zoom close enough to read the endzones and see the stadium in decent detail...pretty nice. They had a version of the Keyhole software in the International Spy Museum in DC that I played with forever. This is twice as addictive!

7/7/2005 10:52:54 PM

I still find WorldWind a more interesting project

7/7/2005 11:02:19 PM

^why, they are doing the exact same things google/keyhole is doing, but with older data

7/7/2005 11:30:11 PM

nvm

I fly Fort Bragg a lot, so I know that place pretty well from the air. You can easily identify it 500 miles up from the satellite view.

This is 10x better imagery than Falcon View in most places, and it loads and moves very quickly.

ok I have google earth on my comp.. what now

7/9/2005 3:18:14 PM

love it

7/9/2005 8:50:57 PM

Overlay the goatse pic somewhere.

7/9/2005 11:20:16 PM

i have several Google Earth hacks to add later, but just one for now -
http://www.beenmapped.com/

I haven't used it (because i'm on a mac now..... need GE for OS X!), but it looks to be a del.ico.us bookmark/tagger for google earth locations, so you don't forget them.

There's a giant crater in mexico that should do nicely for that

7/14/2005 4:45:10 PM

Does anybody know what this giant symbol on the ground is?

It's at: 37.628860,-116.84799

7/14/2005 4:54:15 PM

It's in the nuclear proving grounds, so I'm sure it's some sort of distance markers for bomb testing.

7/15/2005 10:44:11 AM

If any of you are interested, here's some NWS radars that I've done.

^ bahahahaha




I love google.

7/20/2005 3:11:14 PM

how the hell is that image repeating over itself like that?

when you zoom out, you can see that it's just one image repeated in a line, but I can't find any seams.. am I losing it or what?

7/20/2005 3:26:19 PM

there's not seams on the moon

7/20/2005 5:27:00 PM

^^


Are you fucking blind?

7/20/2005 7:33:17 PM

Get google earth and load in the satellite overlay here

http://www.snotmonkey.com/content/googleearth

And you can see downtown Nawleans.

I also put in some images from Gulfport and Bay St. Louis. As I and others add to it, I will update the links (and give update times so you know if you got the latest one or not)

9/1/2005 3:55:55 AM

Your New Orleans Downtown August 31st, 2005 link goes to
[link]http://www.snotmonkey.com/files/google_maps/92563-NOfloodDigitalGlobe.kmz

should that not be
[link]http://www.snotmonkey.com/files/google_maps/92563-NOfloodDigitalGlobe.kml ?

and when i open the Mississippi one, i get the following errors for all the images: "Could not load image: <image URL>"
looks like you were pulling those images off of NOAA.gov and they are expired

[Edited on September 2, 2005 at 3:22 AM. Reason : .]

9/2/2005 3:18:48 AM

its the kmz file i pulled from the keyhole bbs, and it seems to work fine.

as for the other, they shouldnt expire?

9/2/2005 5:38:42 AM

ok so I am having problems with my google earth....takes for freakin ever to open


keeps telling me to delete my google earth cache file


anyone know how to do that?


I have done like 15-20 his res overlays of the mississippi and LA coastline so could this be doing that?


I have some good overlays if someone could host them

9/2/2005 8:55:37 AM

the more overlays you have open at once, the slower it will run...if you uncheck that it should help...and needless to say, faster computer w/ good graphics card and fast internet runs program the best

anybody have any idea if there are any future plans to add more cities to the 3D Buildings features? Particularly Charlotte...

9/6/2005 2:06:30 PM

My biggest complaint is that many of the roads in the rural areas south and west of here are named "state road 2231" or whatever, instead of the actual name of the road.

9/6/2005 2:27:26 PM

^yeah i hear that...on a lot of them if you zoom out a little more you can see both though...

i think thats more helpful for people travelling who just want to know how to stay on State Highway 3356 instead of caring how the road name changes from Tyvola to Fairview to Sardis to Idlewild, etc

9/6/2005 5:32:05 PM

I would have no idea how, but I'm wondering would it be possible (and I'm pretty sure it would with access to the right information) for someone to create a dynamic overlay based on the information from the wake county real estate database or other similar databases(http://msweb01.co.wake.nc.us/realestate/search.asp) that would show lot sizes, land and house values, and the other information provided by the wake county (or other) real estate database. It would also be cool if you could click on a house from the satellite image and have google earth pull up a picture of the house from the wake county (or other) real estate database. Thoughts?

9/7/2005 12:29:22 AM

Mecklenburg County has a similar setup that is separate from Google Earth

the random road name changing used to drive me nuts when i first moved here

9/7/2005 9:35:20 AM

i downloaded a kmz file and kml file for the NWS radars.. i double click the files and they automatically open google earth. is there a way i can put them in some type of folder...where i just open google earth regularly and then can turn the radars on and off as i please?

9/7/2005 9:49:03 AM

^I think when you open them it adds a new file/checkbox to the left side of the program...you can find that and copy it to your favorites folder? Then you should be able to select/deselect it whenever you want
