Comments

  • Four suggestions: 1.- It is necessary and useful to know the precise coordinate position and the elevation (in meters) of a place on the Earth (when it is observed on the map or from satellite. 2.- It is useful too that anybody can mark a place and put some legend or explanation about that place. 3.- Sometimes, it is needed tu 'rotate' de orientation of the map or photo. 4.- For Latinamerican countries, the road and street maps are quite poor and inexact. ¿And about railroads, what?
