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!

Guadalupe Island MX - A Cloud-Free Image

6 x 16 Grid

6 x 16 Grid

Using DigitalGlobe imagery from Google Earth, I selected 96 carefully sequenced screenshots, each at a scale of 1:15,000. From these screenshots I was able to create this complete 4.56MB standalone cloud-free image of Guadalupe Island MX. The 6 x 16 grid shows how the screenshots were arranged to complete the mosaiced image.

A Cloud-Free Image of Guadalupe Island, MX (1:15,000)

The experienced reader knows all one really needs to do is log into Google Earth, center on Guadalupe Island and zoom onto and about the island. So, it is fair to ponder, "So what!"

My image is portable. I load my DigitalGlobe imagery taken from Google Earth, into my mapping software, Global Mapper, and explore the island at my leisure. I made sure to credit both sources, using their standard image trademarks (see very bottom of image).

Now, I can zoom above the cypress groves located in the upper portions of the island...

Or head south to view the area of one of two semi-permanent villages located on the island.

Enjoy!
