Dave,<br><br>That is one option, but the nice thing about Topo! is that the drawn route gets saved. With WW, many of the images are saved in a cache on the hard drive, and it would be trivial for a developer to cause the drawn image to be saved in cache. The caching is why, when returning to a region, the images appear faster than the first time visit.<br><br>Check out the support web page for WW. There is a frenzy of activity in the development of plugins for this thing. You can now get Mars images on this and one the high res pictures from the European surveyor get published, the images may be better from our nearest neighbor planet than what we have now.<br><br>By the way, I downloaded a plug in for arial photos (from aircraft) that has higher resolution than the Ortho or Urban. Unfortunately they only cover parts of NY state, not much use for us here.<br><br>Alan<br><br>
