Hi all...
I might assume that many of you have already
discovered "Flash Earth". See
http://www.flashearth.com
( I've created a link to at
http://www.projecthonduras.com/map )
If you haven't, you may wish to take a look,
particularly if you are involved in volunteer work in
Honduras that requires you to travel around the
country. This is by far the best interactive satellite
imagery map I've found online. It has excellent
resolution and it focuses in quickly.
Just click over Honduras, positioning the + over the
area you want to view. Use the zoom in and out
mechanism on the upper right hand corner of the page.
On the upper left hand corner of the page, click on
"Google Maps" for the imagery with the clearest
detail. Click on Microsoft VE (labels) for the imagery
with the names of cities and towns.
Zoom in first on Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula. You
can easily see streets, buildings, trees, cars (and a
fair number of bright yellow school buses).
On the map of Tegucigalpa, for example, I am able to
find my way to specific houses and office buildings. I
can see how this capability would have practical
applications.
