What I am after here is Triglav, the highest mountain in my country :) On the previous request it did not show, but perhaps the coordinates were too far away, so this time, closer :) Directions: well, NE and N will do, I guess.

This is weird. Those coordinates do not seem to be right, so I looked at wikipedia, and the entry for Triglav lists coordinates 46°23′00″N 13°53′00″E that point slightly south from Rjavina (consistently in Google maps and in Outerra). However, Triglav isn't marked anywhere on Google maps, so I can only guess. And the photo in the wikipedia entry doesn't look to be from Debela Peč as it states there ..

There's an unnamed peak around 2800m high, here looking at it from Kanjavec


Using your coordinates (46.365244N, 14.114342E) I have to look west, not N or NE to see the same mountain range:



The other coordinates for the picture throw me somewhere in a valley shielding me from seeing anything, doesn't look right either.

38.043102 N, -3.501106W. Try a few decens of meters above ground, I'm curious about a view heading towards east-northeast and another towards west-northwest view. Thanks a lot!!

Thank you very much man! As you can see, that part of southern Spain is rather flat compared to the vast majority of my country, but always good to see how the engine manage to interpret that, it even have managed to place correctly some of the pine trees (although almost everything else are olive trees)

Here you can see two similar views from almost the same point for comparison, but obviously is difficult (but not impossible) to recognize some features.

Hey cameni.

First off, thank you for taking your time. The view on Wiki is from Debela Pec, i remember i from the time I was up there. So it does look strange, unfortunately :) That part of Julijske alpe is really nice to see from afar. The location near Bled, as you took them for the second picture should result in the view that you can see here:



I think that it does, in a way. A matter of perspective, perhaps. The castle on above picture is above Bled lake, so the image can be compared to what you should see on that second picture. Too cropped, but can't give you nicer one ATM. And on your screen shot, there are these two peaks, I think :)

Perhaps this picture will be clearer as where this mountain is in relation to two biggest lakes there (the green arrow :D):


Thank you as always.

Hi and thanks for creating this amazing engine.
I wonder how does this city look in there. It's a view to Monserrate in Bogota, Colombia.

Coords:
4° 36'08.24" N
74° 03'36.53" W

Here's the google image:





And the real pic:




Cheers.

Thanks Cameni! Looks like your elevation data is better that Google's! Awesome :D I'm hooked!

I finally have one.. from a race track in Austria.

47.822419 N
13.165119 E

With a heading of 259° West

From eye level on the ground.

Looking for that peak you see in the distance behind a rolling hill. ;)

Not sure if this is it, initially the shape starts about right but then the peak isn't there.

All those real life trees screwing these up. Best indicator is that flat valley directly in front that would be perfect for laying down a long strait on a race course. The numbers came off of stratic's google maps and he used his android phone with a protractor app to determine direction.

Either way I can see it. Even if I don't! That peak could be too small for the current setup?

There are multiple roads visible in Google maps around that area, so it's probably ok.

That peak should be there, resolution should be enough. In Alps there were many voids (places where ray could not penetrate the clouds even during multiple passes) and they were patched quite crudely by interpolating from surroundings. There's the Viewfinder Panoramas guy who's been patching the data using maps and other available data sources; we received permission to use his data and I believe that that area is covered by these.
But he said he's working on the Alps again, and better data should be released this year.

I've been looking at a lot of images and reading a lot about Outerra over the past couple of weeks.  This looks amazing.  Congratulations on doing such a great job.

Thanks!  That does look a lot different without the river and cliffs, but still resembles real life.  Needs more trees.
