RE: [MI-L] [Spam] Google Earth Frustration

[Neil Havermale]

Well the knee-jerk response is that the paid for images are more current and will show the city more closely present the “as it is” rather than “as it was”. It depends on the value of timeliness versus currency of image base.  This Google Earth thing and the pending like solution that ESRI is about to drop on all of us is a major disruption to desktop GIS as we have generally known it.  What you might try as an alternative is to demonstrate your vector and rasterized maps on GE?  It is actually quite neat and extend to GE the real value, that of your analysis?   FWIW MidNight Mapper Aka neil     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Juan José Del Toro Madrueño Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 10:00 AM To: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MI-L] [Spam] Google Earth Frustration   Hello List;   I don’t know if this happened worldwide or just here in Mexico but, as some of you may already have noticed, Google Earth has just added high resolution imagery to new areas; the reason of this post is actually is a frustration feeling and I’ll explain this; as I was preparing a document where I was trying to sell high resolution Imagery to a Municipality here in Mexico I found out that Google Earth now has it in Quickbird Imagery; I know that in GE (free version) you can’t do ANY analysis to these images and that if they bought from me the actual imagery they would have tons of benefits; but try explaining that to a Municipal president who has a “Free” software  that is “giving” him the same images I was trying to sell the for “Free”; almost impossible.   Hope this made sense.   Cheers Mr. Frustrated in Mexico Juan José Del Toro Madrueño [EMAIL PROTECTED] Guadalajara, Jalisco MÉXICO
