I was wrong on both counts, it's actually about 9 million tiles but "only" 169 gb. :) But it involved re-processing 1.7 terabytes of uncompressed source data and when you count all the intermediate files that were created it would amount to about 3x that much data. Here's another little update...

I can only say "Why would you?" :D Vermin-infested collapsing building, surrounded by commercial parking lots, great view of the rear of the shopping center and plenty of free entertainment watching the trucks unload 24/7. https://boydsmaps.com/pines/#18/39.899650/-74.831802/hereHybrid/0/0/

Well, I think everything is finally done! The error correction menu is gone now and the code has been updated to work more efficiently. Here's an interesting spot called Strawberry Hill between Lambertville and Washington Crossing. The bottom of that quarry is 120 feet below sea level and only...

All the map sizes in the terrain viewer have now been updated and should (theoretically) be error free. Here's a view of the Core Pines at the 48-mile scale, for example https://boydsmaps.com/terra/#39.713327/-74.511992/0/112812/0/0/2/0/2000/972/-2000/45/6/2d/shader20/eco/0/z12 Still some...

After a few false starts, the full elevation data update should finish tonight or tomorrow. If anyone's interested, here's what the problem was. Elevation data is encoded as colors in special maps that are hidden from the user. By reading the red, green and blue (RGB) values at the current map...

Definitely! I'll post it right after my 144th birthday party! :dance: In the meantime, here it was in 2016 And this is 2012 (couldn't find a bigger one). Seems like I must have an older one somewhere, but haven't been able to find it. :)

I got this at a junk store in Cape May back in 2006 and screwed it to an oak tree next to one of the little trails on my property. The tree has gotten a lot bigger and is slowly devouring Smokey. :D It's a reproduction, but well-made from heavy gauge galvanized steel with a fired ceramic finish...

Here are the cumulative rainfall totals for the past 7 days. You can see a couple dark red pixels that represent 8 to 10 inch totals near Lower Bank. It's been a really wet week there. We really didn't get much of anything at my place until last night when we got about one inch. The Southern...

That was some really strange weather today. I was out for a walk before noon and the sky was dark to the northeast, with distant thunder but no rain. When I got home, I looked at radar and saw an area just a few miles from me was continuously spawning storms that flowed north. This appeared to...

That whole parcel looks like a former mining operation. I wonder if it's the spoils that were removed from the rectangular pit to the North?

Actually, that "alligator thing" is right under the "the"! https://boydsmaps.com/sync/#17/40.094135/-74.276504/midatlidar/0/0/njgin1930/15/0/0 No tax record for that parcel. But - funny - whatever it is - it's within the proximity zone I created for "The Alligator" (note the historical...

Forecast didn't pan out here, they predicted a range of .75 to 1.25 inches yesterday and today. Barely got 1/4 inch at my place. Looks like more could be coming this weekend however.

"Yesterday, Everett finally had something to share: DPReview.com and its "current core editorial, tech, and business team" were acquired by Gear Patrol, an independently owned consumer technology site founded by Eric Yang in 2007. The deal had already closed as of yesterday, June 20."...

In this case, "2023" refers to when I downloaded them from the USGS. It is what they currently offer with the National Map, but is older than 2023. The source for these is the NAIP (National Agriculture Imagery Program). They have a complicated rotating schedule of photographing different...

This update is now in progress. The high resolution (1.5 mile map size) data for the Pines is now live. So if you're using the terrain viewer with these maps in the Pines, you should turn OFF error correction.

2 terabytes on the internet server. 8 terabytes of SSD on my computer at home, plus another 25 tb of network and external hard drives, plus 4tb SSD on a media server! And - would you believe it - I am still running out of space. :ninja:

Have started updating the individual components of the dataset but it's a big job that will take a number of days. They look good so far on my development server at home with error correction turned off. Will start updating the public version tomorrow, one section at a time. The first will be...

Who will be the first to try this at Bear Swamp Hill? :D "...introducing Domino's Pinpoint Delivery: a new technology that allows customers to receive a delivery nearly anywhere, including places like parks, baseball fields and beaches, just in time for the start of summer. How does it work...

These errors have bothered me ever since I got the terrain viewer working, but I couldn't find the cause. Now that the viewer is finished, I dug deep and it seems the errors are being created in the final step of preparing the elevation data. The weird thing is that it only occurs at certain...
