Voted 10/10 | Hey it's your page - I'm sure you can figure out how it works :-) | |

Voted 10/10 | Nice pan, Gangolf! Thanks for adding it! Hey Bor, I know you'll read this - have you noticed that Josh added the Google maps feature, the program which D Smith created, on each SummitPost page. On the menu left now you have also the 'INTERACTIVE MAP' choice. This really means that summit coordinates must be precise. And we still have a mess in Julian Alps and around. See these maps and correct coordinates of 'your' mountains, please. (And you, Gangolf, don't read this! Because being such a workoholic you might do this instead of Bor.) Cheers! | |

Voted 10/10 | Yes, great panorama! Vrabona Spika -> very funny :-) Thanks Vid for pointing this out (google earth map added to each page)! I didn't notice it till you mentioned. That's great! And I don't have to learn how to make those initial maps :-) I actually used, as I told you, Google Earth to determine exact coordinates of Velebit peaks and areas and added coordinates also to the top of each peak section on each page so anyone can just simply copy/paste those values into 'Fly to' option and software will take you exactly there. That is even better than this generated map. It is pin point precise. I used this method: zoomed to each peak very closely, added new placemark to the peak, than leveled to horizontal and circled around a peak to be sure I placed it on the very highest point (also checked altitude data), then just left click on the placemark and went to edit and from there copied exact latitude and longitude. I would love to do that for Julians too but unfortunately many parts are under clouds so that is not possible. Any solutions Vid? Anyway I guess my coordinates are quite precise for Julians because I used maps to calculate them. | |

Voted 10/10 | Hi, Sasa! Yes, having now Google maps on SP is great. I don't have any solution for Julian Alps. True, they are mostly under clouds. But anyway, the majority of Earth is on Google still in low resolution. Some areas - for example our Savudrija peninsula and your Piran bay (ha, ha) are already in high resolution. I can't wait to see all Alps in high resolution. Your method to determine coordinates is fine, but, hm, complicated. I don't use for that the 3D maps, but simply go on maps we have here on SP, zoom in and double clck where I think the summit is. | |

Voted 10/10 | The good thing about elf powers is that you can mess with other people's pages :-) As discussed here's your summit panorama. Please check the names - they are very hard to learn! Also check the caption - I think there are more groups than two but you know better than I do. I have seen more summits than you labelled - can we have these too? | |
