Technical notes
georgiapeach:
oohhhh...can you put these up in TAR please, they are GREAT! :hearts:
Prophet:
I love this Slowhatch! Thanks for finding it! I can see how this could be really useful in TAR detecting. With all these innovations we hardly have to leave the house anymore :lol:
Dom:
Not sure if this is the right place but here goes:
Regarding the mapping software on the show itself, we know TAR US uses Google Earth Pro, but what software did TAR Aus use instead? Whatever it was looked about 100 times better!
Prophet:
Google has finally perfected the searching by images feature. It works pretty good!

For Chrome users this is even easier:

(The plugin also includes a screenshot app that allows direct upload to Picasa)
Slowhatch:
Thanks. I haven't used GIS (similar images) for a while; it's nice to see how good it's become. I threw five images at it: Phil, Bert, Zenkov cathedral in Almaty, Mount Kailas and the acaraje picture from the TARLA thread. I stripped the captions just to make sure it wouldn't cheat :). It correctly identified all five (try to use full-frontals and avoid obliques and profiles).
The alternatives are struggling: Tineye is still around, but Gazopa is shuttered.
