quade 4 #56 August 11, 2006 On a Mac system; Help > Add / Edit a Business Listing This takes you to a Google sign in page. There -must- be another way to do more detailed stuff, but I haven't looked into it. I think it probably falls under the category of "Enterprise Solutions" on the Google Earth web site - which is marketing speak for "this is gonna cost ya".quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeMcLean 0 #58 August 17, 2006 Sucks that the Google Earth imagery isn't high-res for our area. It would be great to do a few data points (pond, main landing area, new hanger, etc.) but with that image, it just ain't gonna happenIt wouldn't hurt you to think like a fucking serial killer every once in a while - just for the sake of prevention Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr17Hz 1 #59 August 17, 2006 I have a few co-hosted windows servers, and would be willing to donate the hosting space nessisary to help make a collaborative project like this happen, however I don't have the time to organize it.

I have also put up a file that contains all of the individual dropzones, so you can get all of the DZs at once if you want. In many parts of the US and Canada, the weather is getting worse... a rainy, cloudy Saturday is a great time to spend 15 minutes creating an entry for your dropzone! Even if your DZ is in a "low resolution" part of the world, create an entry for it anyway. The low-res pictures are usually good enough for some basic landmarks, like the DZ's hangar, the runway, and the landing area. Because of the way Google Earth works, if Google later gets some better imagery for your area, the new images will _automatically_ appear underneath the points you've created - you don't have to do anything. A question for Quade or other greenies: would it be acceptable/worthwhile to post a pointer to this thread over in "Events and Places to Jump"? It might help get some more dropzones added to the list. Just one post that was immediately locked would probably do it. EulePLF does not stand for Please Land on Face.
