Common interests

I see that we both love coordinates and bridges, especially transporter bridges. I suspect that I'm about to attempt to teach my grandmother to suck eggs here, but I see from your contribs that you're using OS Get-A-Map and Google Earth a lot. Do you know that Wikimapia is much easier to use? The URL in the URL bar constantly changes to the current coords at the crosshairs as you move the map around, so once you have them positioned correctly on the object, you can just copy them out. I saw that you corrected the coordinates on the Kiel Transporter Bridge. I'd love to know how you got them; I added them originally and I cannot now remember where I got them, much less where you obtained the improvement. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If possible, I use "official" maps to determine coordinates. This may be a little more work and sometimes needs a conversion, but gives in my opinion the most reliable results. (Because OS getamap today needs additional software, I now use streetmap.co.uk to access the maps of the Ordnance Survey.) – The place of the Kiel transporter bridge I found problably the same way as you did: As it crossed the entrance of the Kaiserliche Werft Kiel, I first had to find out where this shipyard had been. Google gives some good results and useful pictures. I compared an old map (http://www.pharus-plan.de/karten/1803d-Pharus-Historischer-Stadtplan-Kiel-1905-Ausschnitt-Ellerbek-und-Kaiserliche-Werft.jpg) to Google's air photograph of that region. To gain more accuracy, I loaded both into Gimp and scaled/moved the map (which I had made semi transparent) to match the photo. The transporter bridge is not drawn on the (too) old map, but this (and several similar) pictures show where it had been. Kind regards, Telford (talk) 09:53, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I could say that I'd seen that Kiel map, but my memory is absolutely blank on that one. I can see that I was right on my grandmother-egg-sucking premonition, however. Anyway, good talking to you. If you get stuck on some coordinate search, feel free to drop me a note and I hope I can do the same in reverse. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:10, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
