FOR THOSE WHO CRUISE OHIO/LAKE ERIE

Post by SURV1969 »

There now, available for free, aerial photos(2006), of all the counties in Ohio.

If you like to plan your sailing around the lake these photos are great . . . and free.

Using these photos in Mr. Sid will give Ohio State Plane Coordinates, while using these photos in GlobalMapper will give both Lat & Long, along with your choice of coordinate systems.

The photos have 1' pixel resolution.

I have begun compiling safe(?) anchorages . . . that is anywhere where I can find safety, if a rogue storm comes up(such as factory docks, private docks, leeward sides of sea-walls and filllings areas(where dredgings are piled up to make new land))

counties run 1Gig+, but an export routine in MrSid allows me to make 1-2MB geo-tiffs of particular sites(or larger with a reduced resolution).
