Hello John
I'd say Google Earth fits your needs as you describe them. It will allow
you to add your own tiles/pictures. And if you first store those
pictures online somewhere and then link to those in Google Earth, all
you have to do is share the KML file and others will be able to view
your presentation too (correct me if I'm wrong).

Hi all
I'm giving a presentation in a month's time. I was originally
intending to use prezi.com and wanted to show a map of the world which
I could zoom in and out of to show detail and tell stories about
various places. Prezi was actually the inspiration for me using that
format. Unfortunately I'm not having much luck with their site, not
sure if my images are too big or I'm scaling things out too much but
it's just not working well.
So, I'm wondering if there's anything else you can suggest. I guess I
have two main options, either using a projected map or using a spinny
globe. I'm guessing that Google Earth could do the job but if there's
anything more appropriate I'd be glad to hear about it. I'd like to be
able to display text and photos at each location. Ideally I'll be able
to pre-cache tiles (oh yes, I'd like it to display my own map tiles if
possible) and it'll all work nicely and smoothly. Also the ability to
share it in some way would be good though I imagine a movie would
suffice. I'd rather not have to start coding something up so that I
can spend more time on the presentation and less on the tools!
Appreciate any suggestions you may have,
John
