On February 9th, I prepared a presentation to inform and demonstrate to councillors, the underutilized opportunities that can support our local economy and that are at our immediate disposal using web-based marketing. Councillors were made more aware of information available to visitors (tourists) by accessing several commonly used web based application such as Google Earth & Google Maps. The presentation (using an internet connection, a computer, and a video projector) illustrated how sparsely populated information is respecting Greenstone and our catchment area.
Of relevance to the Municipality of Greenstone, gps data associated with providing travelers with needed information such as restaurants, accommodations, gas stations, hospitals, clinics, airports, businesses, recreational points of interests (i.e. Pallisades, boat launches, snowmobile trails, hiking trails, canoe routes, golf course, interpretive centers, parks, etc.) will enrich our presence on the many wireless handheld devices being made available and accessible through applications such as Google Earth, Mapquest, and Yahoo.
Isnt it funny how only Geraldton and Beardmore show up clear on Google Earth? Maybe it had something to do with where our capital of Greenstone is. If you want this to work right it all has to be equal and never mind the political B.S. between the towns.

ReplyDeleteGoogle Earth employs satellite imagery that is dynamic and is therefore updated periodically. Contrary to your thinking, we have no ability to influence which satellite views are being updated with higher resolution. The general observation is that areas with higher populations have the better and more full features including recreational features and even actual live traffic flow.
