Google Earth Now Combined with NOAA Nautical Charts
Published: June 11, 2008
Google Earth (High-rise satellite photos) now offers alternate NOAA nautical charts views
for the Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf coastline. What's great about this service is that
you can locate a marina, anchorage or channel by using the familiar NOAA charts, then
with the click of a button, look at high-res satellite imagery of the very same
waters/marina. Now, that is what I call a USEFUL tool.
We may very well find more ways to make use of this unique service service here on the
Salty Southeast Cruisers' Net in the future.
