Subject: RE: CaveTex: Google Earth Resolution
This makes sense from a marketing standpoint. The majority of those using this service are going to be looking for detail in the urban areas. We as cavers are interested in the finest detail in the boondocks or at least in areas where we expect to find caves. We are the minority in this situation and will have to live with it.
Having a large collection of 1 meter DOQ maps (USGS Aerials with each pixel georeferenced with UTM) I can attest that those few counties I've accumulated in Texas take a lot of disk space. Imagine the disk space required the whole United States or whole world!
Lewis Carroll (author of ALICE IN WONDERLAND) wrote somethings about maps having the scale of a mile equals a mile..Not unlike the problem of equal resolution for all georeferenced images.. no?Ted
