 'Google Earth' eller 'Google Jord', måske 'Google jordkloden'. Det er lidt svært at oversætte, men grundlæggende handler det om at du kan se satellitfotos fra alle steder på vores jordklode. Det er i varierende kvalitet. Nogle områder er i lav kvalitet og her kan kun konturene skimtes, mens andre områder kan zoomes ned så du kan se farven på biler der kom forbi da billederne blev taget.
Læs længere nede på siden hvordan du installere 'Google Earth'og begynder at bruge det. God fornøjelse! |

Gota Canal tourThe Gota Canal (Swedish: Göta kanalen) is a Swedish canal constructed in the early 19th century located in Götaland (Gothia, Gothland, Gothenland, Gautland, Geatland), one of the three (unofficial) lands of Sweden. Geographically the waterway is located in the south of Sweden. The Göta Canal was officially opened on 26. September 1832. The original canal stretches from Mem to Sjøtorp. Nowadays the Gota Canal is the common name of the entire waterway and canals from Stockholm to Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborg), through the major Swedish lakes Vättern and Vänern.
The Gota Canal itself is 190 km (118 mi) long, of which 87 km (54 mi) were dug or blasted, with a width varying between 7-14 m (23-46 ft) and a maximum depth of about 3 m (9 ft). The canal has 58 locks and can accommodate vessels up to 30 m (98 ft) long, 7 m (23 ft) wide, a draught of 2,8 m (9 ft) and height of maximum 22 m (72 ft). During it's course the waterway rises from 0 m amsl (above mean sea level) at the sea, up to it's highest level 91 m (299 ft) amsl at Lake Viken. In conjuction with the Swedish archipelago from Stockholm to Mem, the Gota Canal from Mem to Sjøtorp at Lake Vänern and Göta älv and the Trollhätte Canal, a water passage is made possible from the Swedish capital at the Baltic Sea to Gothenburg on the west coast, giving access to the North Atlantic Sea. When the canals and locks was built and designed, one of the reasons was to avoid the Danish Oresund Toll, a paid duty to the Danish Crown from 1429 to 1857 for passing 'the sound', the strait that separates Denmark from Sweden. About the "The Gota Canal tour": Checkout more than 180 placemarks on the sailing trip from Stockholm to Gothenburg on a cruise through dozens of locks taking you almost 100 meters up and down above sealevel. For a proposed use of low height flyover of the waterway, 3 playable tracks are included in this tour/collection designating the detailed routes from Stockholm to Mem, Mem to Vänern and Vänern to Göteborg. Furthermore a series of Google Streetview links to photos corresponding to placemarks in this tour/collection are supplied when available/located and can be found in the top collection/tour folder description.

Bergen Railway LineThe Bergen Railway Line (Norwegian: Bergensbanen), also called the Bergen Railway, is a 496 kilometres (308 miles) standard gauge railway line in Norway between Bergen and Oslo. It is the highest mainline railway line in Northern Europe, crossing the Hardangervidda plateau at 1.237 metres (4,060 feet) above sea level. The 100 year old (2009) Bergen Line is considered one of the most exciting and beautiful train rides in the world.
This tour/collection also include "The Flåm Line" from Flåm to Myrdal, a station on the Bergen Line. The Flåm railway is considered one of the 10 most spectacular train journeys in the World. The train journey provides some of Norway's wildest and most magnificent scenery. On the 20-kilometre long train ride you can see rivers that cut through deep ravines, waterfalls cascade down the side of steep, snow-capped mountains and mountain farms that cling dizzily to sheer slopes. The Flåm Railway is one of the world's steepest railway lines on normal gauge. The gradient is 55/1000 on almost 80% of the line. An average gradient of 4,5 %. The twisting tunnels that spiral in and out of the mountain are manifestations of the most daring and skilful engineering in Norwegian railway history. The longest documentary ever?! At least the longest Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) have made. More than 7 hours, showing every minute of the scenic train ride between Bergen on the Norwegian west coast, crossing the mountains to the capital of Oslo. Allmost every placemark in this "The Bergen Line" railway tour has references to elapsed time (h:mm:ss BBNRK) in this documentary so you easy can locate the filmed area of any GE placemark in this collection.

The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chainThe Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain is an over and under water mountain chain composed of the Hawaiian Ridge, consisting of the islands of the Hawaiian chain northwest to Kure Atoll, and the Emperor Seamounts, a vast underwater mountain region of seamounts along a line southeast to northwest beneath the northern Pacific Ocean. The seamount chain, containing over 80 identified undersea volcanoes, stretches over 6400 kilometres (4000 miles) from the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench in the far northwest Pacific to the Loihi seamount, the youngest volcano in the chain, which lies about 35 kilometres (22 miles) southeast of the Island of Hawaii. The Hawaiian Islands are that portion of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain that projects above sea level.
The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain is a subducting seamount chain on the Pacific tectonic plate, moving at absolute velocity of 8,10 centimeters (3.19 Inches) per year from SE to NW, being subducted beneath the Okhotsk tectonic plate where the plates meets and form the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. At this point the seamounts end up their more than 80 million years of existence and travel across the Pacific tectonic plate, from their birth as a Shield volcano above the Hawaiian hotspot, now being pressed down into the trench under the Okhotsk plate. The amount of lava erupted over time to form the Hawaiian-Emperor chain is calculated to be at least 750.000 cubic kilometers, 180,000 cubic miles. If all this material was spread over the 10432 km² Hawaii island it would be covered with a layer of lava at least 70 km (44 miles) thick! This is more than 9.375.000 cubic meter or 331,075,000 cubic feet erupted every year! More than 0,3 cubic meter or 10.5 cubic feet every second! A sharp bend in the chain indicates that the motion of the Pacific Plate abruptly changed about 43 million years ago, as it took a more westerly turn from its earlier northerly direction. Why the Pacific Plate changed direction is not known, but the change may be related in some way to the collision of India into the Asian continent, which began about the same time. About the "Hawaiian Emperor seamount chain" tour collection: Take this tour displaying more than 80 million years of volcanic activity combined with mountains moving more than 6400 km (4000 mi) along with the tectonic movement.

River Nile tourThe River Nile, the worlds longest river, is a major north-flowing river in Africa. The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile, the latter being the source of most of the Nile's water and fertile soil, but the former being the longer of the two. The White Nile rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source in southern Rwanda/northern Burundi and flows north from there through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and southern Sudan, while the Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana in Ethiopia flowing into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital Khartoum. The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilization has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population of Egypt and all of its cities, with the exception of those near the coast, lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan; and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along the banks of the river. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea.About the "River Nile tour": Take a tour along the entire River Nile of 6650 kilometers, 4135 miles from the most distant spring to the vast delta of the combined rivers. More than 700 placemarks, in average one every 9,5 km, 6 mile, guide you along the river. Dont forget to checkout the overlays in the folder at the end of the placemarks :-) Tour creator: Tom Kjeldsen, created may 2009.

Date Linehe International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth opposite the Prime Meridian where the date changes as one travels east or west across it. Roughly along 180° longitude, with diversions to pass around some territories and island groups, it mostly corresponds to the time zone boundary separating +12 and -12 hours Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) (Greenwich Mean Time - GMT). Crossing the IDL traveling east results in a day or approximately 24 hours being subtracted, and crossing west results in a day being added. The exact number of hours depends on the time zones. The International Date Line can cause confusion among airline travelers. The most troublesome situation usually occurs with short journeys from west to east. To travel from Tonga to Samoa by air, for example, takes approximately two hours but involves crossing the International Date Line, causing passengers to arrive the day before they left. This often causes confusion in travel schedules, like hotel bookings unless those schedules quote times in UTC, but they typically do not since they must match domestic travel times, local transport, or meeting times. The first date line problem occurred in association with the circumnavigation of the globe by Magellan's expedition (1519-1522). The surviving crew returned to a Spanish stopover sure of the day of the week, as attested by various carefully maintained sailing logs. Nevertheless, those on land insisted the day was different. This phenomenon, now readily understandable, caused great excitement at the time, to the extent that a special delegation was sent to the Pope to explain this temporal oddity to him. The effect of ignoring the date line is also seen in Jules Verne's book "Around the World in Eighty Days", in which the travelers, led by Phileas Fogg, return to London after a trip around the world, thinking that they have lost the bet that is the central premise of the story. Having traveled the direction opposite to the one taken by Magellan, they believe the date there to be one day later than it truly is. If someone circumnavigates the globe in an airplane from east to west (the same direction as Magellan), they should subtract one hour for every 15° of longitude crossed, losing 24 hours for one circuit of the globe; but 24 hours are added when crossing the International Date Line (from east to west). The International Date Line must therefore be observed in conjunction with Earth's time zones: the net adjustment to one's watch is zero. If one crosses the date line at precisely midnight, going westward, one skips an entire day; while going eastward, one repeats the entire day.About the "International Date Line" tour: Take a tour from the north pole to the south pole across the enormous pacific ocean. Note the difference on certain parts of the line between the antimeridian and the agreed International Date Line (IDL). The direct distance along the antimeridian from north to south pole is about 20.000 kilometers (12.400 miles). If you follow the IDL it will extend the distance to 30.000 kilometers (18.600 miles). This tour will give you a best bid of the placemarks from north to south of where, from east to west and reverse, to set your current date. When you travel from west to east and cross the IDL ; Shift to the previous calendar date / set back your clock approximately 24 hours. When traveling from east to west; Shift to the next calendar day / set your clock approximately 24 hours forward when crossing the IDL. The date of where you are right now is rather well defined, also when you go back and forth across the Date Line as it depend solely on your geographically coordinates. Your current clock adjustment to local time is much more depending on local currently active or inactive agreements like daylight saving time of the location of where you currently come from and the destination you arrive to.

Mariana trench tour Deepest part and place of the world's oceans. Mariana Trench and Ridge, with ridge islands and Challenger Deep. The Challenger Deep is the deepest surveyed point in the oceans, with a depth of about 11000 metres (about 36000 feet). The exact depth is unknown. The trench forms the boundary between two tectonic plates, where the Pacific Plate is subducted beneath the small Mariana Plate. The bottom of the trench is further below sea level than the highest mountains in the world like Mount Everest is above it. At the bottom, the water column above exceed a pressure of 1100 atmospheres, 1100 kg/sq cm, 1080 bar, 108085 kPa, 15676 (pound per square inch) psi, over one thousand times the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. The creatures that could live at these depths are few, as we know by our current exploration of the deep sea's of the earth. On the other hand, the worlds oceans is the biggest and most unexplored part of the earth. It's more than likely that most wild life there, still remains to be discovered. Some fish like the Angler fish and other deep sea fish have been spotted in these waters. Organisms like foraminifera, single-celled protists that construct shells have been discovered near or at the bottom.About the "Mariana Trench tour": Take a tour along the islands that emerge up above sea level along the Mariana Ridge as tectonic plates moves and underwater volcanoes reach the pacific sea surface. Dive thousands of feets and meters below surface in the Mariana trench and swim on to the reef of the islands. Take a dip and a view of the Challenger Deep with info on deep sea fish and organisms, the Trieste submarine diving to the bottom and the original spotting of 'the bottom of the world'. Enjoy!

Suez canal tour The Suez canal is a large artificial canal in Egypt, west of the Sinai Peninsula. It is 163 km (101 miles) long and 300 m (984 ft) wide at its narrowest point, and runs between Port Said (Bur Sa'id) on the Mediterranean Sea, and Suez (al-Suways) on the Red Sea.The canal allows two-way water transportation, most importantly between Europe and Asia without circumnavigation of Africa. Before its opening in 1869, goods were sometimes offloaded from ships and carried over land between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. About the "Suez canal tour": Welcome to the Suez canal tour. Take a tour over this artificial canal from the Gulf Suez, the Red Sea and the Indian ocean in the south, to Port Said in the north by the Mediterranean Sea. :-) Enjoy.

Mount Everest tour Mount Everest. Worlds tallest peak, highest mountain. Also called Sagarmatha (Nepal, meaning "Head of the Sky"), Chomolungma (Tibet, meaning "Goddess Mother of the World"), Qomolangma (China), Zhumulangma (Pinyin) and originally named peak XV, peak 15 when it was discovered and classified. Mount Everest is a part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, located on the border between Sagarmatha zone of Nepal and Tibet. First observed and recorded from great distance as "peak b" in november 1847. In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of India established, after several years of calculations, the first published height of Everest at 29,002 ft (8,840 m.). The New Zealander Edmund Hillary, and the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, was the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest at 11:30 local time the 29th of may 1953 after a climb up the southern face. Nowadays the highest mountain in the world attracts climbers of all levels. The mountain, while not posing substantial technical climbing difficulty on the standard routes still has many inherent dangers such as altitude sickness, weather and wind. By the end of the 2007 climbing season, there had been 3,679 ascents to the summit by 2,436 individuals and Everest has claimed 210 lives.About the "Mount Everest tour": This is a series of placemarks and tracks/path'es showing an impression of the climbing tour from basecamp(s) to the top of the world. The 2 major routes (out of at least 18 routes) are (roughly) shown in red (North Col, Northeast ridge) and blue (South Col, Southeast ridge). Several places of mountain climbing interest along the two routes are also pinpointed. The tour is divided into 4 folders; "Southeast ridge (South Col) route", "Northeast ridge (North Col) route", "Mount Everest - The Summit" and "Mount Everest - Peak Pictures". The 'Play tour' option of GE applied to folders one at a time will take you on a trip on first the south and then the north route approach. Finally we take a flight around the summit. And end up in displaying a series of old and new pictures from around Mount Everest. Please note that especially the tracks very much are approximations of the plausible route and nothing near the exact climb. No one has been hurt during the use of this for climbing (mostly because no one hopefully has used them), but they will, if they do!!! The 'South Col' tour is considered the 'easy' trip, but I believe that people taking (the real) tour to the top of Everest are really tough people, no matter what route they take! Even from satellite pictures and Google Earth terrain feature you get a feeling (and I guess never near the real thing) of how really really big this mountain is! Enjoy.

Colorado river tour The Colorado River ('Aha Kwahwat in Mojave) is a river in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, approximately 1450 miles, 2333 kilometers long, draining a part of the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. The river's course takes you from the source in the impressive snow-covered mountain landscapes, over dams and lakes, through the deep eroded canyons and dry desert areas to the estuary in the Gulf of California. The existence of the Colorado River was first noted in the records of written history in September, 1539, when Francisco de Ulloa sailed to the head of the Gulf of California and rowed a short distance upstream. The Colorado River spring is La Poudre Pass Lake, located high in Rocky Mountain National Park, just west of the Continental Divide. "Grand River" is the name once applied to the Colorado River from its headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park to its confluence with the Green River. This gave rise to several names including Grand Lake, Grand Valley and Grand Junction. The earliest appearance of this name on a map could be on the map by Henry Schenck Tanner from 1836. The name there replaces the name of Rio Rafael, which appears on many earlier maps. In 1921 Grand River was officially renamed to Colorado River. About the "Colorado river tour": ake a tour along the entire North American Colorado river from the spring in the Rocky Mountains more than 3200 meters, 10000 feets above sealevel, through hundreds of canyons including Grand Canyon, crossing dams and lakes like the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and finally flowing into the Gulf of California. More than 600 placemarks, in average one at least every 4 km, 2.5 mile, guide you along the river. At the end of the placemark collection the 'overlays folder' offer various displays like national parks, the watershed, the river states and the river basin.

K1, K2, K3, K4, K5 mountain tour Beyond the famous K2 check out the sisters K1, K3, K4 and K5 - Thomas Montgomerie was the member of the team who designated it "K2" for being the second peak of the Karakoram range. The other peaks were originally named K1, K3, K4 and K5, but were eventually renamed Masherbrum, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II and Gasherbrum I respectively. The K2 mountain, the worlds second highest mountain, is commonly known as the hardest mountain in the world to climb. This is due to technical difficulty and objective danger combined with its immense height. The Karakoram is home to more than sixty peaks above 7,000m (22,960 ft). The range is about 500 km (300 mi) in length, and is the most heavily glaciated part of the world outside of the polar regions. About the Google Earth "K1 K2 K3 K4 K5 mountain" tour: Take a tour of the 5 "K" mountains including the most famous K2 mountain, the second tallest point in the world, located in the vast Karakoram range. View one or several photos of each peak ajusted to combine GE terrain feature with the original photo viewpoint.

Kiel canal tour The Kiel Canal (German: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal), until 1948 known as the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal, is an approximately 100 kilometer (62 mile) long canal in the German Bundesland Schleswig-Holstein that links the North Sea at Brunsbüttel to the Baltic Sea at Kiel-Holtenau. An average of 250 nautical miles (463 kilometers, 288 miles) is saved by using the Kiel Canal instead of going around the Jutland peninsula. This not only saves time but also avoids potentially dangerous storm-prone seas. The Kiel Canal is the most heavily used artificial seaway in the world. Excluding sporting boats and other small boats, an average of 117 ships per day used the canal in 2008.About the "Kiel Canal tour": Take this tour on, The Kiel Canal, from the Kiel bay at the Danish/German part of the baltic sea through the German marsh land to the North Sea at the estuary of the River Elbe.

About the "Amazon river tour": Although I never (yet) have been in South America, the Amazonas has always been a source of facination for it's wildlife, rivers and wastness. I may come to Amazonas some day but on a winter day in january 2008 I concluded that I'll most likely NEVER (guess not many) will travel the more than 6400 kilometers from the spring to the mouth of the river. So I decided I could use Google Earth to give myself (and you, maybe) a guided tour. Enjoy. Tour creator: Tom Kjeldsen, created january 2008. Recommended to be viewed as a 'Play tour' in Google Earth with terrain feature enabled. Autoplay tour available here. Note that autoplay tour does NOT include placemarks, pictures, overlays and description/information contained in the original tour. |

Hent Google earth |
|
Hent programmet på http://earth.google.com. Det er på engelsk. Jeg har skrevet til google at vi selvfølgelig snart skal ha' det på dansk. Om de hører efter det må jo komme an på dem... Og de hørte efter med den danske version (4.3) der kom i april 2008!
Start med at bare at prøve at suse rundt på jordkloden. Det er ret imponerende! Dobbeltklik dig ind på en del af kloden hvor du måske har været eller kender nogle, og vupti, pludselig kan du se et hus, en vej eller en bro hvor du har været. Lidt sjovt, ikke? Jeg har f.eks. IKKE spillet tennis på banen ovenpå Hilton hotellet i Minneapolis på billedet her, men jeg har sandsynligvis siddet i et lokale underneden mens de spillede! Jeg har samlet en bunke mere eller mindre gode tillæg, herunder steder og over diverse funktioner, til google earth igennem de år, siden starten af GE, jeg har været med. Importer dem direkte ved at klikke på links under sektionen 'Tom's Placemarks, Tours, Overlays' når du har Google earth installeret Bemærk at nogle lag/overlays kan være meget tunge/langsomme. Overlays er f.eks. et aktuelt sky billede ovenpå hele jorden... Jeg har lavet nogle hjemmelavede ture, gennemløb af flere bogmærker (tours). De er beskrevet på denne (på engelsk) side. Prøv dem! |

Here are my collected placemarks, tours and overlays. They are in general just a collection of 'things' others have found, made, published which I then have grapped during the years. Feel free to check it out. Original credit of course go to whoever made initial discovery or pinpointed it...
