I have a plane,not sure if on the ground. Please if others could check.
LAT.38.698404 LON.-119.037355 Rudy.

They seem to have a new set of pictures that extent further East.

I don't see the plane in the new set.

Nomen,
Can you confirm the second set of kml files is ADDITIVE?
That is, should we load BOTH the kml files mentioned
in this thread - or should we only load this latest KML
file?

I finally saw the new files tonight! Last night they were giving me HITs in
the eastern area, and all I could see was the original maps, so I knew I
wasn't doing anything meaningful. Then this morning they were giving me
HITs in the area covered by the first kml file, but I noticed the Google
Earth coordinates weren't centered on the HIT image; even sent them a
comment on that! Tonight I am finally seeing the new kml file data (thanks
to the above link; I tried several times before to load it from the
mechanical turk site link, but either that wasn't working or I didn't know
what I was doing - probably the latter ).

The files aren't additive, but they overlap; I think the best bet is to have
both loaded, but make sure the new one is being used if the HIT is located
within it (uncheck the box for the first file).

Are you SURE the files overlap?

Here is the KML outlining updated Steve Fossett search areas in red.

Notice the two updated Steve Fossett search areas do NOT overlap.

The files I was referring to were the GeoEye imagery you get by following
the kml link in the message that started this thread, and the Digital Globe
imagery you get by following the kml link on the Mechanical Turk webpage.
The GeoEye imagery is the dark green area, which overlaps the western search
area outlined in red, and the Digital Globe imagery is the imagery within
the western search area; this was the imagery I was talking about when I
said they overlap. I'm not sure what's going on with the eastern search
area outlined in red; it doesn't seem to be part of the Mechanical Turk
search effort, or if it is they need to change there kml link to include
it's imagery!

Can someone summarize what the latest KML files are?

Checking this page:

http://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?g...G35XEZJZG21T60

I copied this link:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/Fossett-DG/DG/index.kml

I think that should load the relevant satellite imagery.

Of the three satellite photograph updates for the Steve Fossett search,
apparently two overlap and one is purely additive.

The image below shows the three search areas, each outlined in red.
