 |  | I am looking for a software program
< on 11/12/2007 1:21 AM >
|  | | | I recently mapped a quarry with GPS and I am looking for a program that will tell me how much area is located inside the waypoints.
Does that make sense?

| | | | We at the ambulance base have a program called "Pictometry"
It costs upwards of $100,000 for a license, and trust me it cannot be torrented.
Hook yourself up with a fire agency or an EMS or Police and you get access to some pretty cool stuff. Its like google earth on steroids.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop... |

I don't know if you can load the points from your GPS automatically or not, but if you mark them on a map on http://local.live.com, its extremely easy to measure the area, you just draw the polygon and it tells you the area. I imagine google earth may have a similar feature.

If it can show any place on Earth, including my city, in hight detail, I want it. I want it now. It would be mine precious. Mine. Only mine...

area... or volume? i would think someone at army corps could tell you a rough math formula for figuring out the volume of a lake or quarry.
Are you now, or have you ever been? |

Google Earth PRO lets you measure area directly, not the free version.
You can get a ballpark measurement with the free version by using the grid. The grid spacing is in units of latitude/longitude and adjusts dynamically. Turn on the grid, zoom in to an appropriate level of detail, use the ruler to measure the area of one grid "square", then count up the number of squares covering the object of interest and multiply. It's not pretty, but it works.
It's great to be alive! |

| | | | (In response to Emperor Wang) If you average between those squares completely inside the polygon and those who are only partially inside the polygon, then you get a better estimate of the area.
