Talk is cheap, show me the code
Thanks to Andi, I ahve the time to play with Google earth using his powerful computer.
Oaay, let’s get started. I have a tip to help you find the place you want. Take this as en axample I want to see Akihabara on Google earth. Where is it?
Find Akihabara on travelgis.com, you’ll get some GIS info there. Latitude and logitude degrees to be exact.
Go to this site to convert your latitude and longitude into the format acceptable by google earth:
eg:
Longitude: 139.767
Latitude: 35.7
Japan
Will yields in:
35° 42′ 0.0000″N, 139° 46′ 1.2001″E, without the N and E, I found myself the N and E by pointing Google earth to Tokyo. NOw I can assume that the coordinate given to me is in N and E (I hope)
Put that into Google earth and fly away :D. HAve fun!
PS:
How come I get green in Akihabara .. should it be buildings there???
