I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together... Hi All Experts,

I am off to watch the last week of the Tour de France, this is the most comprehensive mapping I have managed to find. Thank you. I will have my GPS so will try geotag the photos (need to find out what this means, and how to do it) and then upload them to Flickr. Well done. regards Graham Fantastic job!!!

That is basically a long list of cities, villages and road crossings. there is also an information on which road they are on. (Well all in French but thats how i grew up...) Coordinates for this list of places are taken from a navigation programm, in this case Viamichelin. This is the list you can find under the "Waypoints" folder in each stage. The i use the driving directions from google earth to link the different places. So I do not even have to draw the track myself... Finally i analyse the resulting track at www.gpsvisualizer.com to find out the length of the track. So basically I use different resources to combine the available information. Some being only available recently (driving directions from GE and GPSvisualizer). To refine the work I upgraded to GE-Plus to be able to edit the resulting track within GE for more confort.
