Google Earth - high quality maps of Cuba

#1 Postby logybogy » Fri Jul 08, 2005 6:18 am

FYI, if you all haven't done so already. I strongly suggest you download Google Earth.

It really offers amazing high quality maps of Cuba. And it also has a Lat/Long grid option for easy coordinate tracking.

Here is an older thread about Google Earth and where to get radar and storm tracking kmz files (senorpepr created some for S2K and they are awesome):

Also...if you have terrain turned on, it will give you the elevation along with the lat/long.

In google earth, click on view on the table on top and then lat/lon grid and you'll see the grid overlayed on the map.
