Title: NOAA Raster Chart Google Earth Overlay
Post by: Slipkey on February 04, 2014, 07:27:30 PM
PSA: Don't know how many of you have seen this, but NOAA now has all of their raster charts available for instant overlay on Google Earth. 

It's pretty slick, and you can adjust the transparency levels with the chart to see the satellite imagery through it. Add the .kmz file they list in the link below by using Add > Link and turn on the "Seamless NOAA RNC's"

Hey! That sounds real interesting. I will have to try that out later this week. I look at the Google maps / Earth / satellite stuff pretty much multiples every day! Big fan of 'scouting' with satellite images for a long time. Thanks for sharing!!!

This is very cool.  I love google earth.  I load my points from my hummingbird to google earth so having these charts in there works great!

Another great tool for scouting and making notes for future reference on the water.
