Hello everyone. I have been getting some emails about the KML Path Measurement application not working properly for non US users. It was returning garbage numbers in the path calculations. Honestly I wasn't expecting many european users to be using this application, and did not have proper localization code to handle this contingency. Anyway.. I have updated the application and the

We at the Joint Text Experts Group, would like to propose a new standard in Ink Polaroid data compression. This new compression algorithm "JTEG", is a lossy compression algorithm, allowing for data compression rates far exceeding any Ink Polaroid compression tools available in the market today. As you will see, the JTEG algorithm works much the same as the JPEG compression algorithm used to

I use Google Earth frequently to plan out bike rides and hikes. One frustration I have faced in Google Earth is with using the built in path measuring tool. While you can trace your path with this tool and get the overall distance, it does not allow you to save the measured path. To save paths you need to upgrade to a Google Earth Plus account, which costs 20$ per year. I figured I would bite the
