Will taxi drivers be assisting the mapping? They know where everywhere is & a few of them even have GPS experience. All of them are world travelers & would never turn down a plane ride.

Take a chill pill fer crying out loud!

This is supposed to be done on a regular basis and Google is for non commercial use…did you not get the hint! Its being done by the Survey Section? Planning, BPS, BFRS, King Edward and Environment use the highly accurate data and maps to do their jobs and protect us all.

Liars & mixitup, you are just exposing your own personal bias to the world, what does Minister Weeks’ daughter have to do with anything and this isn’t a new liability it was to have been updated years ago…ya know to compare what was then to what is now…insignificant stuff to you I’m sure like erosion and water levels. Yeah google earth is free but isn’t updated regularly or as accurate as these surveys are and isn’t owned by us (BERMUDA) to do with what we wish and again read the disclaimer that says NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE.

You both are in the words of the great Carlos Mencia…..Dee dee dee

Google Earth may be fine for browsing and your cellphone, but it has poor resolution and reliability for mapping purposes at a scale relevant to tracking Bermuda’s land and property assets. The implementation of the Land Title Registry, for instance, is a key factor in progressing this aerial survey this year. An aerial survey and mapping update hasn’t been done since 2003, with only limited lower resolution satellite imagery in between. It is high time for this project to be done.

was this in the budget?
Is this new Liability really worth doing or is it so Mr Weeks can take his daughter on a plane ride?
