Great find, John! Nice mapper, and the world-wide basis is wonderful. One note to other users: I don't know how your results will be, but I would stay away from the "Interactiv" disply mode (little pull-down menu.) I had no end of problems, with Netscape 6.2, OR IE5, even after downloading and installing the latest Flash and Shockwave viewers. Under Netscape, the map never would come up. Under IE, it would load, and I could do a *little* zooming, but it very quickly hung up, and I had to kill IE with the task manager. Stick to the "Normal" mode, and it works great. Use the "Customize Map" tool, and you can fill the screen, instead of the little postage stamp it starts out with... Dave 37.28N 121.97W or... 37 16' 38" , -121 57' 57" || 37,2774 , -121,966 -
