Ontario Wrecks on Google Earth

[flopnfly]

Found this on another board:



Have you seen the Ontario Underwater Council's Links?

They have designed a system with google earth bookmarks of wrecks in Ontario, HEre is a quote from their website: http://www.underwatercouncil.com/

QUOTE:
Ontario Underwater Council has taken some of the most popular of Ontario (home of the world's best freshwater shipwreck diving) shipwrecks and one of the hottest Web Applications in the world (Google Earth) and combined them to create a pilot of the world's first (Google-Earth-powered) Shipwreck Directory!

Information that can be found in the OUC Shipwreck Directory Pilot includes:
- Name of the Ship/Site
- GPS Coordinates (lat & long)
- Text description
- depth
- and links to photos, web-sites, videos, and music.
- whether the site is buoyed, and who it is buoyed by (stewardship program)

To enjoy the OUC Shipwreck Directory, you will need to first download and install your (free) copy of Google Earth from: http://earth.google.com/

Next Download the OUC Shipwreck Directory file to your computer. To download it click here!

http://www.7daysinparadise.com/gallery/v/links/OUC_Ontario_Dive_Site_+Directory_Pilot_kmz.html

After you have completed the download of the Shipwreck Directory and double-click on it from your computer.


The file will open and you will be able to "zoom down from outer space" onto your favourite shipwrecks.

That's really cool Heather! Thanks!   I've dove a few of those wrecks.


I'll have to try it on the laptop (can't run google earth on this one)
