It Lines Up Over Sydney

The new Google Earth imagery, that is. These vectors are coming from ArcIMS which is reprojecting them on-the-fly from a custom Lambert Conformal Conic projection to WGS84/Geographic.

Nice work Google Earth crew. Keep providing imagery this good and I’m prepared to recommend Google Earth as a spatial viewing platform (but only if any advertising stays out of the way).

Now, where’s ArcGIS Explorer and what does it have to offer Australian users in the way of imagery?

  1. You'll probably be very dissapointed with the default imagery from ArcGIS Explorer. I believe it is supposed to have only the Public ArcWeb Services datasets (I think Landsat).

    The thought is we are supposed to serve up the data with our ArcGIS Server/IMS sites.

  2. This is DigitalGlobe's CitySphere imagery. That's 1:4800 accuracy for a majority of 200 cities worldwide. Look for better coverage and better accuracy to increase in the near future.
