EVS-Islands

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!

Verde Island RP - Every Island Has A Story - A "Spanish Galleon"

Verde Island is located between the islands of Mindoro and Luzon in the Philippines. It is a project of opportunity, a random island in a country of thousands of islands. So what is its story. It seems this passage between the two large islands was and is an important east-west sailing route. The story goes that a Spanish galleon had problems off of Verde Island and sunk in about 60-m. Today divers still find booty that is dated to the time of this ship's sinking. Most divers swim around and look at the reef and it's myriad of life forms. This island is 7-km by 5-km and has a number of small villages scattered about.

I'm making my map labels pretty. The Marplot generated labels were functional, but plain. I like the look of these custom labels. As I stated previously, they are one size only. It would be nice to have the shrink and expand based upon the map's scale. I like my text box and entry. The contours were generated using SRTM 61-10 data in Global Mapper's contour generation routine
.
Enjoy!

Have you thought about serving up your data? Maybe through WMS? Would love to be able to see it using Java WorldWind. The "Minton Island Layers".
