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.

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.
