It is a big-screen (actually five screens) glorified Google Earth display which can not only show you our planet, but all of the Solar System. It is controlled by a few pushbuttons for choosing, e.g. the earth, and a joy stick for navigation. It is damn tricky to work, but you can see the globe, navigate to any area above it, Zoom down, and at a sufficient level of detail, go into Street View. If they?ve shot that street, you can see your house. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/herbk1/L1003883.jpg.html Herb Herbert Kanner kanner at acm.org 650-326-8204 Question authority and the authorities will question you.
