I'm not easily wowed, but this did the trick. If you have broadband do yourself a favor and check out Google Earth. It's right here (http://earth.google.com/), it's free, it's amazing! :thumb

Been on it for a few days (10 meg D/load people) & its just fantastic.

I can zoom in on the old farmhouse i grew up in & dams on our dirt farm in the middle of nowhere in 0z.

I still cant find Uluru (http://www.crystalinks.com/ayersrock.html) though.

Got it !! Thats it on the right

Uluru from 48 klms up (thats 30 miles for that country on our right)

For the uninitiated its just a big fat rock sitting in the middle of nowhere.

But on the download page it says they're working on a MAC version.

Their Maps and Satellite were not originally Mac compatible but they did promise and complete that work. Google at least puts the Mac on their to-do list, which is more than some other developers do.
