tomazpozrl Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Slovenian tracks are usually only visible in poor quality on international satellite maps websites. But, luckily, a fantastic project was started in Slovenia last year, which produced a map of Slovenia covered with satellite photos in great details. The website is called GEOPEDIA and is accessible at geopedia.si. Here are direct links to satellite photos of all 3 Slovenian speedway tracks: Ljubljana http://www.geopedia.si/#b2_x459964.25_y103022.25_s18 Krsko http://www.geopedia.si/#b2_x538247.75_y89510.25_s18 Lendava http://www.geopedia.si/#b2_x613562.25_y155045.25_s18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conkers Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Here are a couple of NY State tracks: Champion Speedway, Owego Action Park East, Greene Batavia Speedway, Batavia (Not very good - won't zoom in on the track) EDIT: Try THIS LINK for Batavia There is another track at Brewerton NY, called Empire Speedway, but it only opened in 2007 so the Google Maps aren't very good for that. If you put Empire speedway into Google Maps it shows the Car track which is quite close. EDIT: Try This Link for Brewerton Edited January 3, 2008 by Conkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 i have no Google earth links but if you goto: http://kartor.eniro.se , type "Skansberget, Eskilstuna" where it says "var", press "sök" and then click "flygfoto" you will be able to zoom in on "Smedstadion".

manchesterpaul Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 It was relatively simple to find Costa Mesa. I just typed it into Google Earth. Costa Mesa Close-Up I've zoomed in to the track, as in the initial wider picture, one could be misled by two more likely candidates for the track. However, it's the shape of the grandstands that would seem to indicate this is the track. I'm going on the various photos and video clips i've seen over the years. Obviously using one's mouse wheel you can zoom in on either image to study the images more closely. Costa Mesa Near Vicinity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
