]Been playing with some new software for displaying my sidescan sonar data. It creates geo-referenced overlays in Google Earth.
This is a small run up Burns Bay off the Lane Cove River as a test. The images are about 10MB total to download. The bigger run up the river was about 180MB. Some people may like to download that much. I'll play more with the software to make it a bit smaller.
You’ll need Google Earth installed, then click here-

Temporary Places on the left hand side you should see a place called
SonarTRX-R00005-20110127-074135. The blue lines on the sonar images can be removed by deselecting
Areas. This will make the sonar images less cluttered and easier to see. The transparency of the images can be changed with the slider bar directly below the
Places pane on the left.
If you look you can see the photographs of the moored boats in the Google Earth photo and the sonar images showing the bottom with mooring chain markings in the mud/sand. In some cases you can also see part of the hull in the sonar images. Obviously the boats move about a little due to tide and wind.
The watermarks are because I'm using a trial license at the moment while waiting for my USB dongle thing to turn up.
Now I'm off to bed....
