Comment on Where'd The Water Go? Google Maps Water Pixel Detection With Canvasparent

Comments

Water has another issue -- sometimes it's hard to cross. You can see it in the last image, sort of.

Where I live, the nearest school, store, and park are ~ 4 miles away. (I know this because of a real estate site.) The second nearest are ~ 6 miles. It takes 2.5 hours to get to the closest ones, but 15 minutes to get to the second closest ones.

The difference, one of them is across a body of water that has no ferry or bridge, and to get there you have to go the long way around. And it's a long enough trip that I've never been there in 7 years of living here, despite seeing it every non-foggy day.
