Saw the following today. Sounds like in the future instead of flying with a "moving map" it will be "moving photos of the actual terrain".

"For Google Earth, the company is outfitting airplanes with Street View-like camera gear and flying them like high-tech crop dusters all over the earth?s surface to get photographic 3D data to display for users.

Soon, you?ll also be able to use a new feature called ?make available offline? to (duh) make the mapped area available when you?re offline, outside your 3G network, etc."

You can't do commercial work in an RV.....you'll have to buy a T6 instead...

Hemisphere GPS makes my swath guidance system and asked for volunteers to fly for mapping purposes at our last National Ag convention. My cell is 478 494 three 7 fife 7.

BTW...you charge for the photos, not the airplane, so a PPL and more than likely, an experimental can do the work.

I have a friend with a PPL and a Skyhawk fitted with a downward-looking camera and makes pictures for forestry companies.

Best,

This of course is incorrect. See any of a number of discussions in the archives of why.
