I was looking at some paleo sea level data from the small island of Storöya in Svalbard, and it looks like Google Earth has the wrong location for the map outlines for the island, so it did not have a satellite photo of it! This is a GSHHG problem, likely (a similar problem is in northern Greenland). #GIS#GoogleEarth#Svalbard
@ai6yr In the spirit of obsessing about random stuff on the internet - here is an overview of all the retouched 3D Buildings/Bridges/Airplanes/etc... I could find within one hour in the region around Zurich.
Totally not an exhaustive list of course.
'Jamie began messaging the thief on Snapchat who was demanding £2,000 to return the vehicle... Meanwhile tech savvy Jamie helped Jayy do a reverse image search of the building the car was parked next to and managed to triangulate the location after spotting the name of a housing estate on a wheelie bin. The pair then used Google Earth to identify the exact street where the vehicle was parked before calling police.'
#NouvelleFrance 🇨🇦 Grâce à l'ancien archiviste québécois Léon Roy, à Nico Lefrançois du Projet #Patrimoine#Québec et à la technologie #GoogleEarth, les chercheurs peuvent désormais savoir exactement où se trouvait la propriété de leurs ancêtres.
Location of land owned by early @European#settlers in New France can now be viewed thanks to extensive research and Google Earth - #Genealogy à la carteGenealogy à la carte
My work is focused on #abstract#patterns but also the human impact on #landscape seen from above. Here are some examples of my posts from the past years :
I think one area where visionOS perhaps dropped the ball is MapKit. Rendering 3D maps seems like a compelling use of volumetric apps in spatial computing, and figuring this stuff out would also necessitate providing tools for view elements to make layout decisions based on whether they're running in a flat window or a volumetric context. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing like that on visionOS. A SwiftUI Map view is just a 2D map. There's both a user and a developer story here to be told
Another screenshot from LA ROUE (1923) Blu-ray. I've been going down a #MontBlancMassif rabbit hole while writing up an extensive review (forthcoming) of the film and 2020 restoration. @film#Cinemastodon#SilentFilm
"Bonus content" from my month-long deep dive into the 1923 film LA ROUE. I did not publish this on my review of the film, but it was fun looking up #GoogleEarth views of #MontBlancMassif. The film crew set up camp at Col de Voz which you can see in the foreground of this 3D screenshot. @film#Cinemastodon#SilentFilm
Drei bislang unbekannte römische Militärlager bei Google Earth entdeckt
In der Wüste Jordaniens haben britische Archäologen dank Google Earth römische Militärlager entdeckt. Eventuell muss gar die Geschichte umgeschrieben werden.
