interesting feature

I was going to post this on the fishing section but decided to put it here

For those with the APP Flightradar24 not only is the background satellite more up to date than most it has an interesting bit in it appears (i presume?) To show waterways in blue.

No its not on the main screen ,find a plane near you and click it ,a box appears showing the plane on the bottom of the box is 3D view click that ,a sequence starts showing what the plane would see in flight below it and it appears streams appear ,strange though they dont join up where they should (my river is missing in places) i cannot think the blue lines can be anything else?

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

I've not used the *in-flight view* for quite sometime, but when I did in the past, I was convinced that it was just a *Google Earth* view from the plane's posiiton.

It could well be but theres no streams on google earth (unless its in some vague clicky thing in the side bar)

Its actually quite clever a high plane shows a high view a low one low ,spotted my house once clear enough to make out but at 20 thou feet not so

 

Bugger me your right as theres no sign of a zoom i never zoomed and tapping away lo and behold the blue appears !

Ok i take it back but i have never seen the blue on google earth itself ,well until i turn my pc on next!

Forget everything i said DOH

 

There is though an oddity ,one field i am familiar with does have a dry winterbourne at the bottom but the map shoes a few lines in the field ,i could amagine field drains but they are under ground ofcourse so shouldnt show! If they were known about at all! Google dowsing?
