Baggers - that is soooooo cool. It helps so much to see the REAL scenery. and £40 - bargain! A small price to pay for the ability to find little areas to disapear off to with a lady friend - OMG i just thought - we should start a database of such places for the POIs hehehe.

i have always hated maps and thet scenery is so much better. Green where there is green, grey where there is grey.

the USA can get maps like this through a program called USAPHOTOMAPS. It pulls through the microsoft Terraserver. It also has GPS capability.

Well the UK is the best place on earth. We have the most intelligent and attractive people.

yes, develop it!!

Have you though about some way that you could have it as a non-selecable, semi transparent overlaying window?

So we could have it over the top of the D3 3D view? That's what I think would be excellent!

this is possible with dotnet as I use the transparancy at work. There are also third party apps to make an app semi-transparent

yes do it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about the D3 overlay, i'm currently trying to find out how to get the vertex data from D3's current view to overlay it on my screen, because i want to put the height map on it too

for extra snazzyness. ( as an option of course )

But i'm glad you guys are appreciating it

I can also put beacons in etc for POI's etc.
oh, and those wonderful accident blackspots

shame no database has which way the blackspot safety cams are pointing lol i could have them on it too

So I guess I'll keep plugging away at it.
Any 3D artists wanna make their cars? ( and a model of mine? if you have the spare time to make one I'd be greatful ) just wish i could draw, but spose coding is good enough, can't have everything lol
