To help with the geography of our various areas, NASA have a site with a free download of a program that links into Landsat 7 to give us some idea of what exactly is where. It's much easier than looking at a street map (although one will have to have some idea of the place that you're looking for, to help with this small drawback, I suggest that you use the Ordnance Survey site to get a Lat / Long. The search function only really works for the USA). That said, I found my house without any problems, just followed the M6 for a bit. Once a location is found and at the resolution that you want, you can save the image for later use (jpg etc). Best advice is that it is a great tool, but you will need a highish spec system, lots of ram, at least 2 gig free hard disk space and a broadband/always on connection as you'll be linked in to the NASA system for the images while you're using it. I suppose you could use dial-up but it would take ages to view anything worthwhile. The whole world is covered, with the US at a 1 metre resolution in parts (you can see individual cars stuck in a jam on Brooklyn bridge!). The UK is best looked at from 10 thousand metres as it gets a bit fuzzy at lower levels. FYI 7 is zoom in and 1 is zoom out, pull the globe around with your mouse and remember to wait for your images to load from the server when you zoom in. The download of the program itself is 173MB but is from a very fast server (it's free source). The URL for the download is:- http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ And to check Lat and Long (UK only) is www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk Those of you in the States and Oz may already have heard about this, haven't seen much mention over here as yet. A great and useful resource. Dave 8-) Wednesbury England
