What is Radar?

Draft rec.boats.cruising FAQ
Radar helps you see what's around you. An antenna mounted high above your boat (often on the mast of a sailing vessel) sends radar waves down towards the ground, hoping to pick up reflections of land or other boats below. It's not foolproof - it can often pick up images of waves instead of real objects - but it definitely helps you see what's around you, especially in conditions of poor visibility.

How were ward maps historically revised or updated?

WardMaps.com - Frequently Asked Questions
Ward Map atlases, particularly those by the Bromley Company, were often updated using a paste-up method. The publisher issued sheets of paper with small maps of individual properties that had changed since a particular atlas had been published. The subscriber then cut out the updated properties and pasted then right into the atlas. The paste-up method saved resources, since a whole atlas could be used for many years and simply pasted-up when changes to properties occurred. See similar questions...

What about satellite?

Frequently Asked Questions
Satellite may be a good choice for areas where there is no other high-speed service, but the cost is generally much higher in North America than wired service. In Africa, satellite is often the less expensive choice with the exception of the cost of the Earth Station. Dedicated two-way satellite service runs from around $3,500/month for 128kbps to over $10,000/month for 512kbps. Typically you will need to pay for the first 3 months in advance along with some setup fees. See similar questions...

Why not use more detailed satellite imagery to make more detailed maps?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are a couple of reasons why we chose Landsat imagery for the Land Cover Project. 1) A Landsat image is about 185 kilometers on each side and one image covers almost the entire state. One image, acquired on a cloud free day, would provide the bulk of the data for each of the four dates. Landsat imagery is relatively inexpensive. It costs $600 per image and the University already had an extensive collection of imagery on file. See similar questions...
