OS map overlays for Google Earth

Very impressed with Gavin Brock's OS map overlays for Google Earth... (Thanks to Noel Jenkins for the tip-off.) Like the fabulous Where's the Path?, which I have posted about before, there is a limit of 30,000 map tiles per day, but it will be very useful nonetheless.

The screenshot (showing Llyn Ogwen, Cwm Idwal and the Nant Ffrancon valley, where Yr12 are headed on Wednesday) was taken with the overlay set to semi-transparent so you can see clearly how the terrain links to the contours on the map...

Very useful map generator

Just discovered, via Noel Jenkins' Digital Geography blog, a really useful website that allows you to custom colour a map of the world (the one below shows where in the world I've been... think I need to get travelling a bit more!):

Aneki.com also has a wealth of facts, figures and superlatives, and there is a handy little tool to compare two countries.

Get exploring!

DoodleBuzz

A novel way to explore the news, (via Noel Jenkins and Alan Parkinson)....



Noel also has links to a variety of other relational browsers here, some of which I've seen before, but others which are new to me...

Geograph in Google Earth

You will all, by now, be regular visitors (and contributors!) to the brilliant Geograph site which I've written about before. I've just spotted on Noel Jenkins' Digital Geography blog though, that there is a new "layer" for Google Earth which allows you to view the Geograph photos in Google Earth...

You can download the new layer from the Geograph website, or visit Noel's blog and follow the link there.

Get exploring and let us know about all the "I never knew that was there!" places you discover... I've just found this one - which isn't a million miles from where I live... Do you know where it is??
