Just pick up one of these:

I think your problem is common ArcPainInTheAss, I've dealt with it before while trying to make maps using stretched elevation datesets in different regions with different elevation ranges....

I guess I'm not exactly sure what you mean. If you're using classified data you should be able to manually select each class(and manually set where the breaks are) and choose the color. If you using...

Not sure if this has been posted already, but here's a pretty cool interactive map of the venues by the the NY times:

Saw a presentation at ISSW 04? where they buried 1 pig (which they euthanized just before burial) to measure temperature changes. Pretty interesting. If I remember correctly they found that the pig...

If it gets ready to blow, stay out of the hot springs. If you've seen Dante's Peak then you know what I'm talking about. With movies in mind, I saw 2012 the other day. Pretty ridiculous movie, but...

No guru either but here's my advice for what its worth. I wouldn't try to reinvent the wheel and smooth/subtract the two DEM's to find the ridges. As geomorph mentioned the accumulation function will...

Resurrecting this instead of creating a new one.

Any toyota shop rec's for the north side of seattle?

- Maple Leaf/Lake City/Shoreline/Northgate/Lake Forest Park area hopefully -

I know Galen Rowell did the first ski descent a long time ago which at the time I believe was the highest elevation peak ever skied. Maybe some good info in his book(s)? I believe a couple guide...

Lot's of rumors and misinformation flying around this thread. I'll see if I can clear things up.

What the bottle says is more or less true. Distilled water was distilled, spring water came form a...

I don't have any personal pics but it might be worth checking out the Bradford Washburn Library at U. of AK Fairbanks and see if he shot the specific peak(s). They do take a little while to get but...

And then there's always this:

You're referring to a buffer. Using that term might help your search results. Not really sure for Google earth - I don't use it too often. I'm not sure of online apps for your area but some county...

^^^ Is this photoshopped? Or real? Funny either way.



Yeah I thought about that but the forecasted wave heights were just too small.

Tsunami Advisory for the US West Coast:

Yeah I guess I should clarify. The PDF's w/ clickable layers and attribute data are generated using ArcMap - the newer versions anyway. In the export to PDF window check out out your options. You can...

Hopefully ESRI will eventually offer an export to flash option. For now, your two choices are :
1. Learn to code the Actionscripts, or
2. Drop some cash on MAPublisher by Avenza. It has an export...

To clarify the article is the top 10 rainiest cities in the US
Not sure what their criteria for being defined as a city is. And its total precip not # of rainy days.

Generalized lower 48 (sorry...

Very cool. Looks like the PNW was the place to be in the first part of the month. If only we could see something like this as a forecast before it actually happens. Maybe one day...only lift-lines...

Unfortunately not gonna make it this year. Probably just as well because it would be pretty hard to attend the talks with the beaches so close by. Maybe next year....

There have been a lot of questions in tech talk recently with GPS users wanting to get advanced mapping and geo-processing functions out of their GPS's. Its no surprise as the TGR GPS users are...

I would always recommend Garmin. I don't have any input on a specific model as I am still using a 6 or 7 year old etrex which still works fine for me. However I still primarily use paper topos in the...

Perfect. Just do the project at work. Just kidding.

Maybe the Maptech Terrain navigator? It's sort of an in-between. Some SAR's use it. I don't know the details of their lic. agreement though....

Gotta go with Garmin. Their mapping software that works w/ the GPS's is pretty good and affordable. I doubt you'll need a separate antenna.

However... if you do plan on selling the maps/using for...

I'd get it cleaned out. I spilled some coffee on a Mac (desktop - luckily) keyboard recently. Dried it out upside down. It worked fine for a few days then some keys stopped working. Surprisingly only...

The Valentines Day '99 slide on Mt Baker's Shuksan Arm was a similar size( and killed some folks). Pretty sure a profile was conducted. Not sure where (and if) those results are available.

Nothing wrong with the paper USGS topos. The price is right that's for sure. It's just a bummer when your area of interest is split across two or more topos. There's also plenty of free scanned usgs...

Animated map of recent job losses -pretty scary:

Wet slides can be quite dangerous indeed. One of my first near-misses with an avalanche involved a wet slide early in my b-c skiing career and since then I treat them with a healthy dose of caution....

Pretty crazy pictures. If you're not already aware of it check out the NASA Earth Observatory. Similar mind-blowing imagery of environmental/natural disasters,etc. And some cool images of Redoubt...

Nice looking maps. To get accurate trail data you really have to ride/hike the trail with a GPS. When you do you often find that a distance given in the guidebook, or from a trail guide is wrong. Any...

Just thought I would try to answer above question and insert a couple pics of my own. The runnels in the S. Sister photo are indeed caused by meltwater. It isn't necessarily little streams though. My...

I can't argue too much with uglymoney or the buyer on this one. The simple fact that numerous tests returned results > 4.0 indicates that the house did/does/has the potential to have elevated levels...

I don't get it. Was the guy actually hurt? With no damages how could you sue for anything?

Radon is definitely not BS. A result greater than 4.0 was found by the EPA to have an equivalent radiation exposure risk as someone who has a chest x-ray every other day. Also radon is believed to be...
