Gurb,
Looks impressive. Started to down load the application, then i read the minimum requirement; broadband - it won't work out here in the woods. Maybe someday.

WOW!

This was cool when I thought it was just a sattelite map viewer...

...THEN I held down the middle mouse button and dragged the image around... it's 3-D! There's terrain elevation, road overlays, 3D buildings in major cities, flybys (try experimenting with double-clicking, dragging, etc.) it's extremely impressive!

Great find Gurb, thanks
