I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together... Hi All Experts,

Hardly. And who would want Megalithic Portal data anyway? A load of inaccurate information gathered by amateurs together with fuzzy photos captioned with such 'insightful' remarks as 'This is a lovely dolmen'.

I've worked out why the data is slowing Google Earth down, it needs to be partitioned into categories so you don't have to have it all on at once if you don't want to. The next release in a couple of weeks should split it up a bit. As to us getting our hands on the data, it would be a great leap just be able to link geographically into other online resources like Canmore or other SMRs, to show a specific long/lat or grid reference. Even that doesn't seem possible at the moment. Anyone interested in helping, get in touch. Cheers, Andy Thanks for the mention, I felt the tumbleweed blowing by after my post on Britarch itself, yet anyone dare mention a metal detector and…
