Via the Mapperz blog, I see that there’s been a major [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Over at the Google Earth Library site, Matt has started a project to convert USGS topographic maps (1:250K, 1:100K and 1:24K scales) into Google Earth overlays.. These are “super” overlays, where views from higher elevations are at lower resolutions, while closer views load in high-resolution imagery; this speeds up display times significantly. Arizona and Nevada [...]

Here’s a MapSource screenshot of the Kandahar area: Twenty-five topo maps are currently available, covering one-by-one or one-by-two degree quadrangles; by my best estimate, this covers roughly a half of Aghanistan’s territory, [...]
