Anyone, Anybody know where I can get a decent size Earth map, say 800×600 at least? Thanks, Mike C.

Michael, We have a full color map of the earth that is a 2,000 x 1,000 that you might be interested in. You can choose if you need the ocean floor or not. The data came from actual satellite data. Please give me a call at 1-800-328-2738. Casey Johnson Viewpoint DataLabs

Michael, I hope you have had a chance to see the map that is available through Viewpoint. "Earth Imaging" makes it. It has incredible resolution. Sincerely, Walter Noot Custom Accounts Director Viewpoint Datalabs Int. Inc. (800)328-2738

Was looking for one that does not cost hundreds of dollars. Mike C.

Michael, Take a look in the GRAPHDEV forum under ray traced sources. There is a zip file there containing some nice earth .TGA's. I'm pretty sure that's where they are but you can always GO GRAPHFF and do a keyword search on earth. If you have trouble let me know – I have them. The one is a very nice map and should work great – there's also a cloud map if you need one also. (And they're free <g>)

Jim: Ah ha! Now I understand… your first message called the rendering plant a subscription bbs, costing $36 for 60 minutes of downloads per year (omitted per day)… Maybe I'll call then… <g>
