How to use the Map Tunneling Tool

Drag map 1 or 2 by clicking and holding the map as you move it. When you let go and finish dragging the map the other map will then show you where about's on the earth the far end of the imaginary tunnel will be. In effect it will show you what is at the other side of the earth.

To make things easier, you can also zoom the map in and out.

You can adjust the height of the map by using the small, medium and large buttons.

You can also change the map view using the Map, Satellite and Hybrid buttons. This works independently for each map.

About

This is a Antipodes Map. An antipode of a point on the earth is the region on the Earth's surface which is diametrically opposite to that point. The two points which are antipodal to one another are considered to be connected by a straight line or tunnel through the centre of the Earth.

What would happen if I drilled a tunnel through the centre of the Earth and jumped into it?

When we have a new climate change---that's what we see with Global Warming---we can assume where the new poles will be located. Am I right?

Great tool, just wish it would let you enter the starting coordinates manually instead of using pan & zoom.

Sorry - I spoke too soon (not for the first time, I think). Have discovered how to print off a radial map.

Brilliant program. Well done! For Presentation purposes, it would be handy if, having worked out a distribution area, say, that I could print that off, thereby to show Prospects whet thay will be getting.

My mum was from Sydney, Australia, my dad from Toronto, Canada, they met in 1958 in Montreal. Living in an atmosphere of antipodes all my life, I wish I'd known why! Thanks for the insightful map. :)Sam.

drop a pebble? why not amusement park ride? Reminds of wondering about effects of artificial channels, eg, panama canal (Atlantic/Caribbean shore life meets Pacific life).

nice tool

Can you please build an "flip over the equator" version, and a "flip across the dateline version"? This would help us land on dry land after tunneling.
