A new map is now available for your amusement! :dance: 2017 USDA/NAIP aerials with mid-atlantic coverage. I will be upgrading all the NJ NAIP aerials to this larger area in the coming weeks. A bit of trivia.... my maps of the Pines are about 500,000 tiles. Full New Jersey maps are about a million tiles. This map is about 5 million tiles... 10 times the size of my old maps!

The NYC and Long Island section is the same as the old Long Island 2017 map. I made my own map of the pines with this imagery some time ago but never released it. It has been heavily contrast-adjusted, which I think brings out the details in forested areas. The original imagery seems very pale - you can compare this map with the original 2017 imagery in NJPB maps; they're very different! I also contrast-adjusted North Jersey but the effect is less severe.

You will see it on the menu here. And - just to keep confusing you - I have re-named the old Northeast NAIP aerials as"USGS Nat'l Map Aerials". That map is a USGS mash-up of NAIP aerials, but at lower resolution. Since I'm going to be doing a whole series of the "real" NAIP aerials, I wanted to keep this separate.

Finally, I'm continuing to trim down remotely-hosted maps outside of the Northeast region. The Minnesota and Minneapolis maps have now been removed. Have also discontinued my weird "Midnight in NJ" map, which didn't have much use. And I deleted the PinesLC map that showed different areas of landcover in a very unattractive and confusing way.

As usual, all these changes will probably cause problems with your browser's cache. Scroll down to the toubleshooting section at the end of the help file for cache-clearing instructions if needed.

The new, expanded 2010 NAIP aerials are now online, with full mid-Atlantic coverage. I'll be updating the 2006, 2013 and 2019 NAIP aerials to cover the mid-Atlantic in the next few weeks as well.

The other big change is the simplification of the Map Menu Options. Now there are only three choices available - automatic, favorites and all maps. If you previously used one of the old options (such as New Jersey), it will be changed to automatic now. If you had favorites as the default, there should be no change. This change also puts the favorite editor on the same menu.

As I posted before in the other thread, you may need to clear your browser cache following this update, you will find more info there.
