Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange

Google Earth and Google Map Tools for Selecting a Site


Google Earth file showing all of the WSTX sites with links to them and the Google Map tool for accessing the same data.

Google Earth (http://earth.google.com) provides a free viewer (http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html) that allows you to navigate around the Earth, and select a soaring site to access the Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange data for it.

The free viewer allows you to view the Google Earth imagery of the Earth, from different elevations and perspectives, but requires a fairly up-to-date PC and good internet connectivity.

Many thanks to Lloyd Bailey for helping develop this capability.

The same file can now be accessed with Google Map.
