London in Maps


The British Library have a new free exhibition on at the moment called LONDON IN MAPS.
As part of the exhibition, you can download a free GOOGLE EARTH overlay which contains a range of London maps. It's a chunky 3.4 Mb.
I'm in London doing some GIS training on Friday, so will pop in and let you know what I think (time permitting) - or failing that I'll send you an e-postcard...
The curator even has a BLOG.

Google Earth Transparencies

Another find by Noel Jenkins via another blog, which is often the nature of these things. This is a 'mash up' which looks to be useful. Check out NOEL'S POST for more details.

The death of my father has now made me an orphan and thereby exposing me to danger.Beforethe unfortunate death, my late father had in his personal account with abank here the sum of $4.500m. As a result of the present insecurity of lives and property in this country,
I wish request that you assist me use youraccount in your country to transfer the balance of my father's account. Again to assist me with a letter of invitation that will make me get a visa to your country for residence inorder for me to continue our education and to invest the fund in a viable business venture.
I am willing to give you 20% while 5% has been earmarked for expenses. If this is acceptable to you, send me a mail through my regular e-mail account (gomo_jeff@yahoo.com) so that we can discuss further on this matter.
