Den dag Danmark blev synlig

Som jeg tidligere har nævnt har jeg kæmpet intet mindre end en brav kamp for at få Thisted Kommune til at frigive sine orthofotos til Google. Og de havde næsten sagt ja – da følgende besked tikkede ind i min nyhedslæser (Google Earth Blog):


Here’s the scoop from Google on what is new:

The key hightlights are:

  1. Entire country of Switzerland at 50cm and many Swiss cities at 25cm (thank you, Endoxon)
  2. Entire country of Switzerland terrain at 10m resolution, Swiss Alps are now high-res!
  3. Entire country of Denmark at 50cm
  4. Australia day flyover (Google maps special)
  5. Cities of France: Lyon; LeMans; Lourdes; Riems; Nancy; Limoges; Lille; Arles
  6. Potsdam and Magdeburg, Germany
  7. Barcelona, Belem, Cape Town, Galapagos (Isabella Island), Manaus, Mt Saint Helens, Recife, Rio, Venice
  8. Whistler British Columbia
  9. Full state coverage for Wyoming & Utah
  10. Cities and counties in the US: Kirkland, WA; 6 counties in Arksansas; Dallas county, IA; Rutherford County, NC; Lancaster County, NE; Johnson County, NC; Lee County, NC;

Jeg vil selvfølgelig fortsat mene, at vi her i Thy skal gå efter synlighed ned til 25 cm. Hvorfor lade København om det? Men det går jeg nok lidt svært ved at overbevise kommunen om.

Hvorom alting er – tak Google, I er for fede – nu kan vi komme igang med mange ting – herunder en spotguide i Google Earth for Cold Hawaii.
