----- Original Message ----- From: "Pedro Drummond" Subject: RES: [OT] Geography Olympics > John, which software did you snip this picture out of ? Nice images... Pedro They came from Topo USA. That particular image doesn't really show the software off all that well -- that area of the planet is mostly water. But there is some vertical stuff on those islands so that helps. I like it for finding radio paths - you can strike a line on the map and see the elevation profile of the line. You can also map out a route and see the elevation profile of the route - something hikers would probably like. It is kind of fun when you are driving through a place with some terrain to see where you will reach peaks and valleys. Less interesting here on the tundra of central Michigan where it's so flat it makes the Netherlands look mountainous. I don't know if there's a "Topo Brasil" but I bet it would be a lot more interesting than here! I've got a pretty old version -- the new version seems to have satellite images as well as the topo maps. Maybe if I'm nice Santa will bring me a copy. --McD _______________________________________________ http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
