You should see above an example screen shot from a barging 'path' viewed in Google Earth
This articles introduces some thoughts and examples of what the DBA moorings guide may look like in the future. The picture above is actually just a still from a moving image sequence I've created of a short sample trip down the Seine. If you have Broadband click on either of the links below to view the movie:

Can we have a WYSIWYG interface? (like in Word processors?)
We do have it! Under text forms you always find an enable rich-text link. Just click on it and there you are. Be aware that when copying text from a word processor you are most likely to have lots of junk in it (stuff like fonts, etc). To avoid that use the Paste from Word icon. It will open a small popup window and make sure that all the unnecessary stuff gets filtered away.
Maps: can we help ourselves?
Submitted by Bèrto ëd Sèra on Thu, 05/31/2007 - 13:00.It's a good question. Maps and navigation software aren't the most expensive things on earth, yet it's still unclear to me why should one pay to obtain what in principle ought to be absolutely public information. There also is a far more worrying reason: since there is no other way to prove that you have been copying, commercial chart publishers DO insert false information in what they publish (see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Copyright_Easter_Eggs).
