Australia with Google Maps, Geonames.org and MS Flight Simulator databases

Hello,

My name is Pierre, I'm from Montreal, Canada. I installed VOZ since

the version 1.1 and that allowed me to know the beauty of your country

that perhaps I shall have no chance to visit a day.

Recently, I putted online a website that could be very useful for

Simmers or scenaries builders who want to discover of new Addons on

AVSIM Library or some new places from Geonames or Wikipedia databases. From

FS9 database, Map2Explore.com allows you to put on Google Maps and

Google Earth some 25,000 airports by their ICAO, their country, their

region or their city. On each Placemark, you will find information

about the airport and links that allows you to make search directly in

Avsim database. Also, on each Placemark, there are links to find

videos from Youtube.com, photographs from Panoramio.com, and nearest

articles from Wikipedia.com and more.

Map2Explore.com is a merge between Google Maps and Google Earth with

Geonames.org, Wikipedia and Microsoft Flight Simulator databases.  The

GeoNames database contains over 8,000,000 geographical names

corresponding to over 6,500,000 unique features and Wikipedia.org

contains up to 230,000 articles.  With a special marker from Google

Maps (Magic Menu) you can drag it at a location in order to search

information about the region like the nearest Wikipedia articles,

airports, photos and local geographical features that you can export

towards Google Earth.

If you appreciate this website don't hesitate to present it, I think

Map2Explore.com can be very useful for our community of Simmer.

Regards,

Pierre (CYUL)

Je ne sais pas lui. Je parle français en raison du travail mais de l'écriture que c'est une histoire différente.

I think I got it right and no ( for all you smartypants out there) I did not use an online translator either

Hi,

I understand you, writing well in french is like torture for french people also but the language of Molière is a very nice thing for the Humanity.

For Map2explore Phil Taylor wrote something good about the website.
