JSKY Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Glad you like it.. Be sure to go into the configuration window and set it for close to your area. You can also change the ground type to fit your type of area you live in somewhat also. (trees, flatlands, mountains, etc.)And it has zoom features to zoom upto the planets for a close look at them.
