I have added links to the Google satellite maps in the 'Worldwide Soaring
Turnpoint Exchange" [ http://soaring.aerobatics.ws ], as well as Google's
road maps, Rand McNally's road maps and - most useful of all for the
landoutacholics - driving instructions from the home 'drom to the turnpoints
and other waypoints for all of the US sites [I'll install a little form for
your crew to enter your lat/lon if you don't make it to an airport,
"shortly"]. The links are G and g for the Google maps and satellite images,
R and r for the Rand McNally maps and driving.

While the Google pics can be very nice, they are a bit spotty and for
example TSA is not very good at all, while just a couple of miles north the
resolution improves substantially. The Terraserver maps, which have been
linked to for years, show a glider on the runway at TSA, so one has to click
and choose. I recently added the Onearth satellite images, link code "O",
which has pretty good - but not as good as the best of the Google's - images
of the whole world.

This was done in a rush, so the column headers don't quite line up any more
in the contol point listings...
