Google Earth Presentation of BlueJacket's Cruising
I've spent a lot of time creating a Google Earth presentation of
BlueJacket's cruising routes. This includes locations from Maine to Florida and virtually all of the Caribbean. The placemarks include text snippets from the logs and then link to the entire log as well as photos from the area. The logs from most of the US east coast and eastern Caribbean are pretty thin, but the photos are good. Everything gets much better starting in the southern Caribbean. Anchorage placemarks utilize anchor icons, placemarks which include diving information have dive flag icons, and land based travel utilize either sign posts, Myan pyramids or airplanes. Icons are grouped by region / country / state or year. I would appreciate any feedback before I post this on my web site. You can access the GoogleEarth KMZ file at: http://www.geoffschultz.org/GoogleEarth/BlueJacket.kmz If you don't have Google Earth yet, you can download it at: http://earth.google.com/ Note that you need a reasonably fast computer and a broadband connection. -- Geoff |

Me too, but don't it make you want to haul up the anchor and head south to
warm water and sun? John "cvj" wrote in message ... Gret job, Geoff....
