Google Earth w NOAA charts overlay

Added to MyBoatsGear on 4/10/2008

Our Review
These days you can get Google Earth overlays on your chartplotter, but what about normal charts. This feature allows you to look at an area with Google earth and then overlay the NOAA charts for better look at an area. This shot shows an overlay of California San Diego area, half NOOA and half Google. Its pretty interesting to be able to Zoom around the US and then have NOOA charts appear.

When you zoom in on an area say your home town, you can use the brightness feature to contrast between Google and NOOA. The brightness allows you to view 100% Google or NOAA or a blend.

Geo Garage's Description
About 1018 NOAA raster nautical charts (RNC/BSB/KAP format) can be viewed online with advanced quilting process (mosaic image with removed borders -map collars- for a seamless rendering display of multiple charts) The user can access through Internet online viewers to all the range of NOAA raster maps, zooming in and out, panning in a continuous way for selecting the specified map scale automatically (so the appropriate map), by simply sliding the mouse roll :

with Magic Flash viewer, allowing the rotation of the maps (useful to read some oblique charts) in full screen with Google Maps, with full transparency management via layer opacity sliders (for terrestrial maps and orthophoto overlay) and Google local search (marinas, harbour services...)
