Plex.Mark! review by Free Geography Tools Blog

May 18, 2009 19:52 by Admin

A few days after the launch of the service we noticed an relatively high number of new registrations. While looking around on Internet, I found the cause was a very nice review (a tutorial actually) in the Free Geography Tools  blog, written by Leszek Pawlowicz.

Leszek, we are glad to see that you and many of your readers have found Plex.Mark! useful enough to make it a helper in your projects and we wish to thank you for letting other people know about it.

Most of your recommendations will be included in the next version of Plex.Mark!, currently under parallel development with Plex.Earth. Until then I would forward, to the users of Plex.Mark!, Leszek's suggestion to download a KMZ file that creates a crosshair in Google Earth view center as an aim to precisely locate the center position.
