Big Black Bunny Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) I you like maps and things try this site http://learn.arc.nasa.gov/worldwind/features.html It's a very big download! Edited October 20, 2004 by Big Black Bunny Quote
+Kitty Hawk Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Ooh. Can't wait to play with these, it'll make a change from blogging or watching the chatrooms or planning my next cache. (or being a spy or doing dangerous sports or fending off admiring women ) Quote
+wildlifewriter Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 It's a very big download! It's even bigger, when everything's installed... 590Mb Quote
+Flackadder Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Think I'll wait until I see a few posts that suggest it's worth the download. Any part of this zoom into the UK at all? Quote
Big Black Bunny Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 There will be good uk coverage . But it seems that the site was recommended by slashdot and the servers can’t cope. When the systems has been upgraded it should be really good. This is probably one to put in your favorites and start playing with, when all the bugs have been shaken out. Early reports when the servers were up sound brilliant. Very large files, broadband only or a lot of patients. Quote
+wildlifewriter Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Since the servers are still hosed, I'm currently downloading the UK cache files. Hell, it's only another 143Mb.... Quote
+Stuey Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Currently downloading at 210k/s . It should be done in less than 30 minutes Quote
+kitmonster Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Downloaded this morning including the UK data. Bit disappointing! Novelty wore off after a few minutes. No where near as interesting as an OS 1 to 25 thou! Quote
+Naefearjustbeer Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 http://www.bnsc.org/wouk/html/cdroms/index.htm Just ask for free cds, don't specify which ones. I got 3 cds of satelite photos etc Quote
