Nazca Lines

[Daniel.swe]

Hi all, I just wondered if any of you guys know the coordinates of the nazca lines?
I've been trying to find them for a long period now soo i would be thankfull if you could send the coordinates, thanks.

I tried to locate them once using some maps, but couldn't see any lines. They may not be visible on the Landsat images. It's possible that I had the wrong location though.

Hey pals

I've found the Nazca desert following the coordinates I found on Internet, but the resolution of Landsat doesn't allow to see the imagery:

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=-15.15807&lon=-75.19880&alt=13208

Look this site, it shows where lines are (look at the illustration): Nazca lines (http://www.crystalinks.com/nasca.html)

[Daniel.swe]

I think we need better resolution on the images to actually see the lines but thanks anyway.

Check the hotspots at http://www.worldwindcentral.com/ the OnEarth LandSat you could make out some detail.

According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_Lines)
it seem to be exactly here nasca line (http://worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=-14.69851&lon=-75.17371&alt=4648&dir=20.4&tilt=29.6), it is near city that cite in different article.

OK pals

Sorry for giving wrong coordinates.

My mistake, sorry again.

[Daniel.swe]

ok guys ive looked at these coordinates

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=-15.15807&lon=-75.19880&alt=13208

and im sure that its the nazca line area but i think we need plane photos to see the line art.

I have a clue about where Nazca lines are:

Nazca from space (http://www.arch.ox.ac.uk/ArchAtlas/South%20America/Peru/Nazca%20Lines/Nazca%20Lines.htm)

Interesting, Jaimera.
But that confirms that the Nazca lines can't be seen from space.

All right, nice find! With this, it's easy to find the lines, but I doubt NLT is good enough for seeing them. With the reprocessing, it'll eventually be good enough.

[Daniel.swe]

Yes to see the lines you need to be at plane level, its impossible to see them from space. Anyway thanks guys for trying to find them.

Them Co-ords did not work 4 me, I did find the Lines but I found them at these co-ord.

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=-14.711943&lon=-75.175670&alt=0.267733

or

S 14 42'42 at W 75 10'33

You're right, Xiorc. These are the coordinates of Nazca Lines. Other coordinates are bad ones

[Xiorc]

Where are the drawings at?

[bull]

Looks nice in NLT-pseudo

Look into it using google maps!

That link didn't work for me but I found them here:

Well I think it's possible to see the lines but they just haven't bothered taking closer pictures, I mean if I can see my car parked in my driveway I should be able to see some lines... Btw the 2 main large lines can be seen clearly from nearly 40 miles up. coordinates for their intersection is 14"42'42 75"10'32

The cars are aerial photos, not satellite. They cost lots more money, and are only in the US. Read the FAQ for more details.
