New Map available - Will Pittenger's stuff for Google Earth and maps

My name is Will Pittenger. I have been making KMZ sets for Google Earth for a long time. After I starting making those, I wanted overlays for my sets. I was unsatisfied with the accuracy of the images available at Wikimedia Commons. So I started making my own with Inkscape and uploading them. Then I needed a place for anyone that liked my KMZ sets and/or maps to find others. For a while, a simple blog sufficed. But, once I started getting requests, I knew I needed something better. This site is the result. You are welcome to set up an account. Some activities are for registered users only. Take your time poking around and let me know what you think.

I have completely replaced the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve map

That map was designed before I made my maps editable. So I started over. What got me to check on it was that I found I hadn't done a KMZ for that track. Well, the map needed help. New map works great.

Monte Carlo in Monaco F1 track

Actually, I made two maps. Normally, with street circuits, I include the streets, but Monaco was too crowded even before I added streets. So I compromised. One map doesn't have anything other than the track. It shows what I would do for a non-street circuit like Silverstone. The other takes that map and makes it a partially transparent layer on top of the streets. Those that open the SVG up in Inkscape will find they can turn the track layer off to view just the streets.

Two notes:

Accuracy was seriously comprised by the shear vertical nature of Monaco. Everything is stacked on top of something. I located most of the track OK, but the streets were a pain to decide what connected to what. Too many roads simply vanished into what looked like tunnels.
Speaking of tunnels, the tunnel on the route below the hairpin left me guessing about the location of the track. I had similar problems in the squares.

Shanghai International Circuit

It really helps when Google finally gets around to buying new imagery. The new map includes the Forumla 1 sectors and was accurate right of the bat.

F1 racing at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium

This track caused me fits with accuracy. I think the hills were the problem. But it now fits in Google Earth. You can get the SVG from the Commons page: . Coming soon: The matching KMZ set.
