"Real time" 19th century data - and another sneak peek at 480

We're blessed with the availability of "real time" content these days, and recently blogged about the upcoming support for GeoRSS feeds in Explorer 480 as part of the landscape of timely information.

Another recent post on the GIS Education Community blog discusses what "real time" may have been like when the earth was still terra incognita using the Pinkerton 1812 map from the Explorer Resource Center.

Below is a screenshot showing the Pinkerton 1812 layer swiped to reveal a sneak peek at the new graticule support we'll be delivering with Explorer 480. This new user option allows your choice of graticule units and the ability to display reference grids such as the US National Grid and MGRS.
