[Cz-L]New Map Compilation: Google Earth + Bukovina 1910

Cernowitzers...

I've added to the latest post in our Ehpes.com Blog, "Virtual Sightseeing Flight Over Czerowitz",

http://ehpes.com/blog1/2010/08/05/sightseeing-flight-over-czernowitz/

as a new map compilation a picture displaying Google Earth + Bukovina 1910. This compilation has also been implemented by Julius Großmann from Heidelberg in Germany, who comments as follows (translated from German):

"...I've calibrated the old map, as the frontiers of Bukovina are slightly visible on current maps. A quite interesting work, as the k.u.k. cartographers worked at that time on the basis of the Ferro-Meridian, which is displaced by 17° 40 min. in comparison to the currently commonly used Greenwich Meridian; therefore a lot of calculations were needed. Jerome has composed an excellent cartographic library..."

BTW, Jerome, should we include Julius' map compilations in our Ehpes map section?

Best wishes to all of you!
