Paleogeographic Maps in GE

A weblog for members of the Canadian Cartographic Association and other individuals interested in all things cartographic

Ron Blakely’s amazing paleogeographic maps, mentioned in a previous post, have migrated, not surprisingly, to Google Earth. With GE latest version supporting animation, it only makes sense to use it as a vehicle to display changes in the earth’s surface. GE community member Valery Hronusov has ported the images into a downloadable GE file. This does much to make the ladforms in paleogeography more understandable.

By way of Google Earth Blog.

Blakey's maps have been in World Wind since May.
One of the WW forum members (withak) created an add-on which uses hi-res version of the images (GE version uses low resolution).
See WW forum for more info...
