Earth views of the Canal

There are some interesting views of the Burgundy Canal using Google Earth.

This link give a great view of the canal entrance at Saint Jean de Losne, with the basin and dry dock.

This link shows a 38 metre barge heading upstream.

This one shows a couple of smaller boats in lock 64.

For the moment only the southern part of canal after is available in HiRes images, from lock 63 down to Saint Jean de Losne, but I guess in the next few months more will be available. It's still possible to see the trace of the rest of the canal, but trying to place the locks is slightly more difficult.

You can also connect Google Earth to a GPS for real time navigation, but its very difficult to get lost on canal.

I've almost finished plotting every lock along the Burgundy canal, plus some of the interesting places along side. I'll publish the file in the next few days...weeks.

Let me know if you also find interesting places on these incredible images.
