[talk-au] Nearmap Coverage

2010-05-02 Thread John Smith
I was curious how much actual coverage Nearmap currently has, and since we have boundaries for Nearmap coverage I thought I'd make use of them. I rounded the area to 2dp, but here is the result... Sydney = 9054.79km^2 Carnarvon = 2352.25km^2 Perth = 32454.66km^2 Rottness = 34.49km^2 Adelaide =

[talk-au] Wivenhoe Dam missing - edit/render problem

2010-05-02 Thread Chris Barham
