Ruta de la Plata

Posted by Carlos Martín Nieto on 25 November 2007 in English.

I've mapped, with the help of Landsat, the old Ruta de la Plata (Silver Route) from Benavente through Zamora to Salamanca.
We need to get Google to help us with their imaging. They're the only ones with decent aerial images of rural Spain.
In order to see this, you'll have to use the Osmarender layer. I've also asked for an account in order to help with the tiles@home project.

Location: Villaveza del Agua, Zamora, Castile and León, Spain

Home stretch

Posted by Carlos Martín Nieto on 20 November 2007 in English.

I've just added the road that leads from my village to the town together with a couple of ways of getting there from my street.
I've also extended the A-6, the motorway that runs nearby in order to get it ready to be joined by another street I'm working on in the town.
This was my first time out with my GPS receiver and laptop. I'm pleased with the results. This is a necessity here because the aerial imaging is horrible for my part of the world.
