aerial maps

Aerial landscape art is painting or other visual art which depicts or evokes the appearance of a landscape as seen from above, usually from a considerable distance, as it might be viewed from an aircraft or spacecraft. Sometimes the art is based not on direct observation but on aerial photography, or on maps created using satellite imagery. This kind of landscape art hardly existed before the 20th century, with its development of means of human transport which allow for actual overhead views of large landscapes.....

18% Q: Do aerial maps provided by Mapquest, Yahoo and Google provide blueprints for terrorists?

Just makes it too easy to plan an attack if you have a pretty detailed view of the target.

A:Could they help a little? Sure. Are they vital aids? No. Those aerial images have to be at least a year old before they are posted on the internet. They also do not allow the user to zoom in as close as the military systems like them do. For example. I'm going to conduct a raid on a mall. I can zoom in just enough to see where the entrances are, and a few of the overhead windows. I wouldn't even know what those things were had I not been there several times already. I can't get an idea of elevation and relief, and oh, by the way, that entrance is no longer there... Am I making sense?

22% Q: How were maps drawn before aerial views could be made?

I want to know how the world map was drawn hundreds of years ago before people could fly. Esp places like siberia and those regions which were hard to cross etc. I can't figure out how they knew to draw the coastlines etc.

A:TRIANGULATION. Setting aside the maps that were purely guess work Hills were used as markers. One person on hill A sited on a fire on hill B and then sited on hill C. If the compass bearings of each are known and the distance between two of the points is known simple maths will give you the answer. Take a look at the map of Northern Kenya in the Turkana region. The border is a straight line. This border was set up this way.
