Superb Free Download

[MarkEE]

This is well worth the wait to download the 180Mb of browser. It lets you navigate the Earth's surface and zoom in pretty close using images from satellites. The resolution when you get very close is not superb and it does take some time to sharpen the image as it gets information from Nasa's servers but its good.

WORLDWIND is the name Mrs Sheen has given to REACH THE WIND's filly by AGNES WORLD - Julie hasn't found her registered yet, but I hope she's as brill as this!

Just added to Favourites, MarkEE - well worth coming back to again and again. Thanks.

That is a cracking site, Mark.

Jon,

I don't think you fully understood what I was referring to. It's the software package that is available for free I meant.
To appreciate it you need to download the software which takes about an hour on broadband...I left mine going overnight. It really is impressive.

 

[PDJ]

Mine is apparently taking 3 hours+ on broadband. 30% done so far!!

Persevrver with it Paul, worth every minute.

When you have downloaded it, download this 6mb tutorial which really helps.
