EVS-Islands: Comparison - PGS, WVS, EVS and 1-Meter Shorelines

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Comparison - PGS, WVS, EVS and 1-Meter Shorelines

PGS, EVS, WVS and 1-Meter Shorelines

I have just completed a new 1-meter shoreline of the island of Delos. It is a very good effort. I imported the finished shoreline into my mapping program. Curiosity got the better of me, so I turned on all of my shorelines at an exaggerated zoom scale (1:1,500). Two of the shorelines maintained an excellent track of the shoreline (EVS and Google 1-meter). The other two were pretty rugged looking in relation to the imaged shoreline (WVS and PGS).

So, what's my point? PGS needs an EVS adjustment to more precisely track the imaged shoreline.

Google Earth asks that the Google emblem remain on their imagery. I apologize to GE for leaving the emblem off of the 1-meter image. I had to make all of the images fit onto a single screen.
