Question 4: Global Locator Map

Global Locator Map

 



Map of Canada (by Google)

Geogratis does not tell geographical name of the area in each index, however, by looking at the latitude and longtitude that the description file (productdescription.self) shows we can find the location of the area in each index.

Fortunately, some websites help us to find the location by searching latitude and longitude of a point. The description file tells us lat. & long. of central location and it of four corners. It will be good to use the central location lat. & long. first, when we search the point.

How to find the geographic locale

that your data represent

This index shows east coast of Canada covering parts of Prince Edward Island, Nove Scocia and Newfoundland.

due to the fact that the size of the map data is too big, I cropped the image by remaining just Eastern PEI regions.

This index shows the north-east part of Canada covering Auyuittuq National Park of Canada in Nunavut. 

 Also, the size of the map is too big to handle in this experiment, I used cropped mat that covers just some part of the Auyuittuq National Park.
