Just thought I'd share this with you all... <br><br>
I have been experimenting with http://multimap.com which appears to be a great source of detailed maps for most of the world... <br><br>
Usually its pretty good, even if the Australian map data is a little dated. However, this time, it really got confused when I zoomed in on Sydney... <br>
This is the map I got: <br>
<br><br>
Seconds later it was OK again... Weird!!!

Kinda looks like your PC had a brain fart and used all its memory up drawing the map, and you maybe scrolled at the same time causing a multi wipe effect..
We've all seen this at one time or another..
Windows to thank for this great effect !

re: multimap
Hi John,
I had a look at this site was impressed with its level of detail..... Have you worked out how to enter coordinates or have you beenplaying with the X and Y figures ???

Usage of multimap to plot caches...
Hi Rats & everyone else...<br><br>
After much trial and error, I have managed to figure out how to plot caches on a map with http://Multimap.com...<br><br>
Use the link: http://multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lon= ... height=600 and substitute the lat/lon coordinates of your choosing in the format DD.ddddd i.e. degrees and decimals of degrees...<br><br>
So far, I haven't been able to get a map bigger than 700x600 pixels... the site seems to have some protection against this... I'm sure that people who are more savvy than I will be able to figure out a way of improving this... <br><br>
To those of you who missed the other messages.... this site provides street/track level mapping for the whole of Australia (yes... even outside the cities)... Well worth a look...<br><br>
Any chance we can automate this within Cheatisearch Ideology???? Pretty please???? <br><br>
p.s. I originally found this site thanks to someone who calls themself Salam Pax - an Iraqi living in Baghdad who was reporting his / her view of the war from the inside... My thanks to him/her and I hope that he/she is still safe and well... See http://dearraed.blogspot.com/ for further details...
