Google Earth - Other Maps
« on: 04 April 2009, 02:44:47 »
Just been having a look on Google Earth at some of the places I flew through today and noticed some fishing ponds and lakes I didnt know of and then saw some train lines  that I decided to follow on GE.

I know I cant change from the Satelite view on GE so I nipped back on the Google onto the Maps tag and tapped in the same area to look for the rail lines.  When I changed to the road view the rail lines dissapeared, now I am sure of the old Google maps they used to mark rails lines with a black line as well as the rivers, water, woods etc.

Matbe it's me and I have gor it wrong again (Again  :-[)  But either way I am after any Google type maps where I can see the railway lines, and in these cases just mainly single lines.

TIA.   :y

No, they can be seen by Satelite on GE, but on the older Google maps when you flcked from the satelite view they were shown as black lines.
