Many thanks for taking the trouble to prepare it. I have a few comments/queries about some of the resources, so hope it's OK to list them here to get any further feedback: Local.live link That's probably my favourite of the tools you've listed. A big thank you to jschutz. Although I'm an enthusiastic user of GE, I must say that for most UK areas the VE aerial views are far better, and much more consistent. And, in the minority of cases when they're available, those birds eye view are just superb. Anyone know if it's possible to remove that large (about 100 px deep) shaded blue band near the top of the local.live display, to get something closer to a full screen view? Presumably VE gives you similar facilities to GE? (I cannot install it, as - for various reasons - I'm still using XP SP1, and VE needs SP2.) Flash Earth I cannot get access to the last 3 options: Ask.com (physical), OpenLayers, NASA Terra (dailiy). Just get a No Entry sign. What are the dependencies here? Falling Rain Very interesting search tool, but its database (for UK at least) is badly screwed up. Pretty well all UK locations seem to be listed under 'Aberdeen City'! NASA Worldwind I cannot get any Placenames displayed, with that layer switched on. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see Adam Schneider's excellent GPS Visualizer? It was very useful for me recently, to get some GPS-recorded walks time-stamped, so that they could be animated by GE's neat new Time Slider. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK Post Extras
