Sphinx on Mars Does anyone know the more precise coordinates for the Sphinx on Mars that 40.75, 9.46? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(Mars)

Switch to "DD" coordinate mode and go to 40.7456°N, 9.4621°W.

For a sec I thought I was about to hear Deckard say "Gimme a hard copy right there."

It's quite amazing and simultaneously ridiculous that we have a public 3D model of a distant planet at 5 meters resolution while the best available free and public models of Earth are at 30 meters.

Doesn't google earth use 1 meter resolution in certain areas?

"Free to access" in highly limited ToS is not free in a reasonable way when it comes to data.

Huh? Did you intend to respond to a different comment?
