I believe Google's satellite photo maps come from TerraServer (http://terraserver-usa.com/). The TerraServer web site has information available on how to write programs that utilize their data base.
You might want to take a look at an interesting bit of software called USAPhotoMaps (http://www.jdmcox.com/). It downloads photo (and topo) maps from TerraServer and places them into a variable scale coordinate grid. Personally, I use the software quite a bit to plan and GPS navigate off-highway excursions into the country. It's all real interesting stuff and has been very useful. - Craig _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
