New Google Maps Satellite Images for STJ?
New Google Maps Satellite Images for STJ?
It looks like Google updated their satellite images for St. John. Those big clouds are gone and many of the newer villas are present. I'm not sure of the data, but Reef Madness looks completed, except for the driveway - Fall 2007?
The images are looking pretty nice. I think I can see Jorge stretched out on Denis Bay.

RG- Yeah, quality of new photo stock looks great, locational references are skewed from the last set of maps though....everything is off about 100 yards in both X and Y axes...I have emailed them about it...
The reference skew only matters if you are using placemarks...that were placed with the previous maps.

I accept full responsibility for my actions, and those of my friends! There will always be whining, especially with regard to anything/anyone interesting. The recourse of reasonable people is to ignore the cretins.mrsb wrote:Doooood! If this gets crowded like salt pond I'm blaming you. Then all we'll hear is griping about the hike and the choppy current.

All the placemarks are still available via the kmz files that you can load into your local GE, they are also all available via the Google Earth community "layer" of information under the "gallery" heading of layers in GE.
Here's the kicker....the new photos are skewed off reference a little from the last ones so all the placemarks are off a little. I have contacted GE about that and asked them to look into it...it affects all placemarks in the areas...not just the ones I created....
My knz file is shown in my signature if you want to load the pushpins...
