Hans writes to say that they’ve updated their World: Relief Map And Geolocations website, covered in an earlier post. There’s a new button labeled “Maximize”; click on it and the Google Maps view expands to fill your entire screen. Click on it before zooming in; if you click after you zoom, it will zoom you way out again. You can now get some spectacular wide-area colored terrain relief images that you can save with a screen capture program (click on the picture for a larger view):
There’s also an alternative Zoomify interface for this imagery at the GeoSystems website, though I prefer the Google Maps interface in this case. Zoomify also offers a free alternative to the Google Maps for tiling and displaying general images that doesn’t require an API key the way that using Google Maps for that purpose does.
