Mapping Questions Answered

Q: So I see pictures and stuff on your 'detailed' Google Earth views (in the Bird's Eye gallery) - but when I load your KMZ file they aren't there?

A: Thing is, some maps have loads of these 'detail' points in, some have few. The problem is that if we show these points by default the master KMZ looks real cluttered. Anyhow - all you have to do is turn on the detail folder after you've loaded the file. Check out the maps page - it talks all about this.

Q: Very cool - but how come I can see trails on the satellite pictures that don't quiet line up with where you've drawn the track?

A: Well, we've done our level best to get the tracks/points as accurate as possible. Cool as Google is their pictures sometimes don't align. Of course, we could align them manually, but then when the satellite images are fixed ours would be broken.

Q: Yeah, yeah - why should we believe you over them?

A: Oh ye of little faith! Our trails are either recorded using GPS, or traced from the very accurate Maps NSW data - really, who you gonna trust, a multi-billion dollar corporation or a group of bike bums?
