Gnomad with 3 map windows open
(Click for larger picture - 390k)
Please be patient. These pictures will take a while to load. The website is behind a slow internet link.
This is the screenshot that is also on the main page. Notice Gnomad has several independent map windows open. There are also a few preferences boxes open.
If you view the large picture you will see the amount of information and fine detail that Gnomad can display. Also note that (unlike many other map databases) the Cypress Freeway section of 880 near the top left is correctly depicted.
The New York City environs (clipped to New York state)
This relatively high zoom shows the streets with the name detail superimposed on the streets themselves.
Unlike a scanned-map program Gnomad can zoom in or out to any useful zoom level. Here is a zoom where Gnomad has zoomed "way in" on the waypoint. The zoom is so high that the 6-meter diameter of the waypoint is readily apparent.
This level of detail is only useful for measuring the gps's wanderings. Nonetheless it is available if folks want to zoom in and watch the wanderings in real-time. This zoom level is quite useful in determining how good a fix one is getting from the GPS.
Note: The funny color artifacts in the solid color sections are due to the screenshot software encoding the pictures as jpegs. Jpeg encoding does not work well around the edges of solid-color objects.
This is a very large scale map of the SF Bay area with a width of 400km. Visible around the bay area are several hundred waypoints and tracklogs.
