I'd like to it please. Maps on dial faces are a GREAT design concept.
Here's two PWS map dials: http://advanceassociates.com/WallDial/Dials/PWS_275a.jpg http://advanceassociates.com/WallDial/Dials/PWS_410a.jpg John L. Carmichael From: sundial-boun...@uni-koeln.de [mailto:sundial-boun...@uni-koeln.de] On Behalf Of Brad Lufkin Sent: Monday, August 09, 2010 8:22 PM To: Sundial Mailing List Subject: Sundials and Google Maps I've incorporated Google Maps into an Oughtred dial. As you know, the Oughtred dial can be drawn on any azimuthal map projection (Oughtred himself chose the Stereographic). Since the dial is drawn on a map, it's possible to drawn Earth features such as countries as part of the dial. What I've done (and I'm pretty sure this is new) is incorporate the ability to download and use Google Maps in the dial. The technique works with geographic dials as well. I tried to send an example to the SML but the image is 90KB+ so will not pass the size filter. I'd be happy to send the diagram to whomever is interested. Brad
