Best maps to use

Post by The Norfolkman »

Hi everyone

After finally being able to put maps on to baseboards, I've been using Google Earth but it seems to be really blurry, is there anything else i can use that gives a sharper image and all the detail of Google Earth??

Thanks

Open Street map is generally better if you don't want the actual aerial view or, assuming we're talking Transdem, the Sabre Maps (shown as UK Historic). Transdem used to be able to grab the OS Maps held by Bing but that hasn't worked for a while. It is quite hard to get the mapping ultra sharp on the terrain though, whichever type you use - just a limitation of the software unfortunately.

With Transdem you get better resolution by using the 3d tiles
