Guys

There used to be a site that had aerial views of the whole Irish coast, which was photographs from a helicopter all linked together by some clever computer boffin.
Any idea where that site is????

I think that site was taken down or else the address changed. It was a government survey to find out about coastal erosion. It was amazingly detailed from what I can remember. I'll keep looking and if I find it I'll post the link.

I could spend all day looking at the OSI maps, very useful . Is there an OSI map for 2010?? it seems to update every 5 years

Great info!!
Thanks a mil

Thats the first time i've seen my caravan site, the rocks and the beaches around it from a satellite image. Not to mention being able to pinpoint my caravan. Thanks for the resource

thankyou for the tip, helped me to find a good spot in clew bay

Very handy, thanks!

Lads on the OSI aerial photographs, on the beaches you can see contrasting areas of light and darker water. I'm assuming the light coloured areas are clean ground, are the darker areas weed or rocks/rough ground?

Thanks in advance
