new features for Google Earth and Maps from nearby.org.uk http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html 2026-04-04T12:59:35+00:00 text/html 2007-12-01T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#25 Google Maps includes the ability to create directions taking in many points, however it doesnt offer the ability to directly save these routes. And Google Earth doesn't (yet) offer the ability to do mutli-destination routing. So this page is an attempt to provide the little bit of missing functionality to save routes from Maps, and view them in Earth. text/html 2007-10-28T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#24 Jonathan van Tuijl has taken the time to pre-process the full resolution 500m/pixel imagery into static files, meaning you can view the high resolution imagry very smoothly (I only provide hosting) text/html 2007-09-01T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#23 Here�s a little script that records your flight in Google Earth for later review.

Very similar to the UTM layer above, but with two differences: 1) the central marker displays a 1m MGRS reference, and 2) grid-lines will are plotted to 10m resolution (vs 1km). I don't know that much about MGRS, so please treat with care! text/html 2006-07-06T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#16 Open to get a marker in the center of the current view that is has a name equal to the IARU Locator for the position. text/html 2006-04-09T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#15 Similar the the various echo's above (5 and 8) but the name of the placemark is the current heading in degrees text/html 2006-04-09T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#14 Have a KML that you would like have a real altitude for every point? For example a elevation profile on gpsvisualiser? Anyway this page will take a KML file, consult a webservice and fill out each altitude point... text/html 2006-03-17T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#13 Along the same lines 'Geograph Hectad's in Google Earth' have created coverage bar graphs for all the layers in the Location Search. Just click the 'Bar' link on this long list of layers. (that page also has links to view the layers normally). See also my post about the specific geocaching/trigs layers at the Groundspeek Forum. text/html 2006-03-06T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#12 Small utility to take a saved KML of placemarks, and generate a new one with the placemarks sorted into order. Very basic but should be functional. Coded to get round the deficiency in the client where no sorting is available. text/html 2006-02-18T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#11 See this page for more information, basically displays the number of photos taken as a 3d bar map. text/html 2006-01-19T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#10 Open for the same again but this time plotting UTM gridlines, which should work worldwide.

Simply open , which will add a new folder to your Places window in Google Earth. Open this up and you can select which layers you want to view. Dont activate too many at once to avoid killing my server ;-) (See this page for the FULL list of layers) text/html 2005-07-29T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#3 View latest images and results of searches directly in Google Earth! Thumbnails of the photos themselves for the marker. See this page (or Forum) for more details, now includes view based refresh. Here is a teaser: 15 Latest Images Submitted, lots more is possible! Thanks to geobloggers.com for the idea. text/html 2005-07-29T00:00:00+00:00 http://www.nearby.org.uk/ barry hunter http://www.nearby.org.uk/google.html#2 includes a link to open the current location in Google Earth, if can be converted to a Lat/Long!

Uses an AJAX update, which I'm quite pleased with, to fetch markers as you drag the map around. Also pointless Moon version. Thanks to dynamite local for the idea.
