You can see the same maps with a less fancy user interface at: http://maps.google.com E.S. -- linux-2.6.14 Remove 'X' to reply by e-mail.

It is merely a toy, much like the rest of the desktop software from Google so you rarely miss anything by sticking to the Web browser. The best applications are Web-based. Roy

A Linux version of the NASA World Wind program (which is like GE) is on the way. It's called WW2D, and is currently in beta, and only 2D. -- David Cowie Containment Failure + 18313:28 |
