Google Earth Comparison
12/10/08 20:00
None of my cameras, nor did I bring one along, have a geotagging device. However, this is an example of how the resolution of Google Earth is such that you can identify by hand the location of a photo taken from a top of Mount Wellington. It helps that there are readily identifiable structures (the electrical station) and landforms (the reservoir) to help align the two. Click on the picture to be whisked away to a zoomify site where you can pull in all of the detail of the full photograph. Then download and load the location from the google earth location file below to find the same location. Then look at the two photographs. It’s scary as to how detailed the google earth photo is and how much of the detail it reveals in everyone’s backyard.
