Pros
Very easy to download
Cons
Had a hard time finding how to open the program
Summary
Would not allow the software to be pegged to the start menu. Had to gon to control panel andthen remove software toseeif it was installed. It was. I have a tendency to havbe things my way-you know-like Burger King. When I decided to not putitin the start menu-haf a hard time finding it so when one must go to uninstall to even see if a program was installed why stop there? So I uninstalled it

Fabulous product considering that it's free
CovertOperativeJune 28, 2005
Pros
Highest resolution pictures availible, not watermarked and free of charge. This product is highly recommended to all satellite enthusiasts.
Cons
Many areas of the USA don't have color aerial photos. The best you can do is black-and-white, low-res pics. This is not as easy to use as other products and it doesn't have a whole lot of interactive features. Could be better, but it cannot be beaten for the price!
Summary
Works as advertised. Easy to use. Addictive.

Pros
Easy interface to learn and automates the access to Microsoft's Terraserver aerial photos and topo maps. Easily accepted tracks from my Garmin Gecko 201 GPS. I've spent hours just downloading and viewing the aerial photos from throughout the USA as entertainment. It's addictive. A broadband connection works best, but 56K is OK. The product is free but the author accepts donations. I gladly donated.
Cons

Great Program, Thanks!
