My Interface To TerraServer

See who's visiting this page.

This is an alternative interface to Microsoft's TerraServer. The original interface makes pinpointing an exact longitude/latitude point on the map very difficult. This alternative interface will generate a URL to directly go to the highest resolution image containing the co-ordinate.

Once on the image page, select the 'Image Information' will bring up an image with UTM grid. Each grid square contains exactly 200 x 200 pixels. Each pixel corresponds to 1 metre. Hence, you can exactly locate the pixel corresponds to your coordinate.

Latitude (North is positive)	Longitude (East is positive)

Image resolution		metre

	Grabber
		Grabber is a short cut. You may right click on the map on www.findu.com, select 'Properties' and copy the part such as '24.66133:-81.48250:8000' and paste it here. (Do not include the '=' sign.) The script will try to extract a positive number and a negative number and use them as latitude and longitude respectively.

Note: Please do not use the form below this line. This form is identical to the one above except it is submitted to the loopback address of 127.0.0.1. This allows me to develop the CGI Perl script at home.
