Saharamaps
 

Hello all,

I've just stumbled across this website:

www.saharamaps.com

Has anyone used thier sat maps? Are that any different / better than those supplied by TTQV, like QV Navigator?
Would they be of any use for navigiating with TTQV4?

Any comments will be appreciated.

Hi Roman,


You can download MrSid images from all over the world with:
https://zulu.ssc.nasa.gov/mrsid/

These are Landsat images from the 90's with excellent resolution (25 meters).
Images come in *.sid format (around 200Mb), and are ready to use in common GIS (ArcMap) or navigators (Ozyexplorer).
But the best is that they are for free :-)

Cheers,
José

José,

Thanks. I used to have a link to this service but they have chganged the URL address.

Saharamaps claim their maps come from NASA/JPL-Caltech, are 15m resolution, ECW compressed, and also made by Landsat7.

Are these different maps and if so, does that mean that NASA also make them available for free?
