3dSkiMaps On Google Earth Plugin!

Oh man, it’s been a while since the last post. I had been working on Snowmass and was nearly finished with that, then I had a disk crash and then got busy with the election. Meanwhile I had been planning on getting a new machine anyway as my old one was incapable of running Google Earth Plugin. So I got that and had to spend a while getting it set up.

Anway now, finally I’ve got the 3dSkiMaps GE plugin webapp going. It’s pretty easy to use if your machine can run the Google Earth Plugin.

It’s been a long time coming. All told, I think I’ve been working on 3dSkiMaps for about ten years, always griping about the lack of decent 3D content delivery services for the web. I remember when Keyhole came out, thinking any day now I’d have something I could use. Then years later Google bought them and now finally we’ve got a plugin.

So I spent some time developing on that, and then they announced Google Earth for iPhone! So that will be my next development project.
