Hi. I am involved with a new project to use crowdsourcing to monitor landscape change (http://www.hampshire...scapewatch.com/). We are running a project in the county of Hampshire UK where you can look at pairs of aerial photos to identify the land uses present and measure how the landscape has changed between 2005 and 2013.
We are looking for feedback on the system too and may expand the scope of the project as we get more participation.
The resulting data will be open source and released publicly.

Thanks, a working link for the privacy details is here: https://support.goog.../answer/6004245
I was not actually but it looks very interesting, I have kept my eye open for solar panels when using landscape watch and found a couple, though they can be hard to spot, a map of good locations to put more is definitely food for thought, cheers.

just for cleaning cookies. I usually clean everything out once a week or so.
(But as we all know; if the "authorities" want your old data-it's still there)
