the friend that supplied me my new pc a couple of months ago already installed it for so I don’t know any tricks to get it going. it works really well and navigating is a cinch. you just zoom out from home, or wherever, as far into space as you need to recognise familiar landscape shapes and then just fly over to your next stop. or you move out to a just few hundred feet up from home, then fly up your local roads and railway lines to nearby villages and things. I can see that my own car is in front of the house on the day the shot was taken and the forsythia and locquat trees in the back garden are in full leaf!! The PC is quite a powerful work-station mind you which might help. but only a few heavily populated places have this high resolution, the Poole/B’mouth conurbation is high res., so I flew from mother’s towards my sister’s and it cuts off just south of Wimborne going to low res. most rural parts are a fairly fuzzy mush which gives little surface detail. e.g. if you hover over Stonehenge you see nearly nothing and over Avebury you can just make out the earthwork ring because it is much higher/deeper than Stonehenge (there is supposed to be a webcam there but it’s dark right now!). Maiden Castle is clear enough but not the nearby Poundbury hillfort unless you know what you are looking for. I’m also struggling a bit with switching the right layers on and off, some seem to behave others don’t do much. around Swanage and the eastern end of the Purbecks is medium to high-res imaging and the contour strip field system at Worth Matravers is really clear. alongside and immediately north of Chapman’s Pool (with it’s cliff-ful of ammonites in the shale) is an amazing field system of lumps and bumps that needs a look at a map to look up what it is. quite good fun I find¬!_________________

Then down to Naples and hovered right over the centre of the crater of Vesuvius but Pompei wasn’t as clear as Ostia. Finally checked out the Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis.

I just wish went it powered up it didn’t hover over the middle of the USA; can you set your own personal ‘home view’??

Vesuvius & Pompeii were amongst the first places I went!! If you would like it to open above your own place then do the following: Uncheck the Default box in LH column marked Places Rotate Planet to view you’d like (eg Above Britain) Go to Edit, then click on Snapshot

Close Prog and re-open, Earth should rotate to your desired location!!

Should Add – Do NOT zoom in at start, just rotate.

sorry…

Thanks, I may be able to grab a tiny portion of this and that but not much, Henllys vale should be on there though so my luck may still be in.

Abergevenny is out and whole A4042 road up to it is out to from the A472 upwards. the high res. zone ends between that road and the road from Pontypool to Blaenavon, Cymavon Road, (abt. 1.5 to 1.6 miles west of the A4042 is the boundary) and the line then curves round to the west.

sorry…

Thanks, I may be able to grab a tiny portion of this and that but not much, Henllys vale should be on there though so my luck may still be in.

should have made some dinner but went for a fly off to more distant places: Italy is good: I went over to Florence and the Brunelleschi Duomo, the Pitti Palace, St. Peter’s in the Vatican and the Ponte Vecchio. And on to Rome and the Colliseum, Castel d’Angelo down the Tiber to Ostia Antica which is amazing, I must have only seen a tiny fraction of it on a visit. Then down to Naples and hovered right over the centre of the crater of Vesuvius but Pompei wasn’t as clear as Ostia. Finally checked out the Parthenon on the Athenian Acropolis.

I just wish went it powered up it didn’t hover over the middle of the USA; can you set your own personal ‘home view’??

Vesuvius & Pompeii were amongst the first places I went!! If you would like it to open above your own place then do the following: Uncheck the Default box in LH column marked Places Rotate Planet to view you’d like (eg Above Britain) Go to Edit, then click on Snapshot

Close Prog and re-open, Earth should rotate to your desired location!!

Should Add – Do NOT zoom in at start, just rotate.
