jmichaelfay,
When high-resolution DigitalGlobe imagery is inserted behind the "Africa Megaflyover" images, misalignments become apparent. The images have been made a part of the basic imagery which is presented, whether or not the Megaflyover icon layer be active. So, a new misalignment category has been created in THIS POSTING.
It is hoped that the support staff can review and adjust the Megaflyover images when high-resolution images are added behind the Megaflyover images.

Yes I know, as the new imagery becomes available we are adjusting image overlay. Just the nature of the relatively low tech methods I used which meant that we only have a most recent GPS point for photos as we pass over at 120 knots at various angles. Nature of the beast kind of thing.

Deer Seer,
I was wondering if this would be a usefull idea for a datalayer, collect all information available on thermoregulating tools in nature and put it on the right spot on the globe. This should stimulate the respect we should have for the highly advanced survival techniques used by animals. Best proof is the succes of "the march of the pinquins", masters in thermoregulation.

There is another pile of bikes in the corner of the picture nearest to the placemark.

Hi everyone,
I've just updated to the newest version of GE (4.0.2722) and I thought new users might like to know that the National Geographic data layer is buried in "Featured Content" now...so it may take a couple clicks for the layer to become visible.
Cheers, Tim

Google Earth Resolution -
Places in Africa where you can zoom-in to 70 feet is a very small amount of the data, and is provided by the National Geographic Society.
Of course this begs the question of when the resolution of all GE images will be this good. Any predictions? Anybody?
It's not bad enough that we have to see the giant gap in resolution quality between Indiana and most of most other states (like Michigan and kentucky), but now we are being tuanted with these extra-hi-res NGS pics. You know it's only going to spoil us.

Never ... ok - never say never - well, probably not for a very long time. The cost would be prohibitive. Those NatGeo pictures were taken from a small low flying plane. The surface area of the Earth (land only - forget about the oceans - is about 57,000,000 square miles.) And if resolution were that good, then eveyone would complain that the pictures were all 50 years old because it would take a verrrrry long time to photograph the earth's surface at those resolutions before starting all over again.
