MSOCS Google Earth Projects

The following file are additional content for the Google Earthapplication from Google.com. Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D building into a single visual application that you can navigate and view.

Google Earthalso allow to create you own content, so I created 2D and 3D models of the CAP conventional grid system with the including information on the new cell system. The grids also contain the own sub grid and can be view individually, by sectional or in a variety of ways. I have created all 37 grids (based on Sectional charts).

For more information on the grid system go to CAP GRID INFORMATION




You can open the charts using the link bellow
Open in Google Earth

Once you load the link Google Earth opens and and a new folder is create under temporary places. You have to open this folder and select the chart you want (as many you want). Since they are off by default (to avoid unnecessary loading). By expanding the chart folder you change many choices on how to view it. remember that if you load a lot of charts it could slow down your machine.

A very another very useful charts is the Aeronautical Charts For The United States created by Matt Fox
