“I’m surprised at just how many people look at the Pacific/Atlantic ocean. Is everyone looking for mermaids? ”
All mapping engines start centred on the US (on first use anyway), so I imagine that the reason the Atlantic is so popular is from Europeans scrolling the map to Europe!
Mapping websites should really get the approximate area that the user is in and just start from there, it would be so much faster.

I only have a W2k computer. I accidently clipped on install button for “3D” at Map.live.com, and then quickly “aborted” the installation. Now I could not use map.live at all. What should I do now? Please help. Thank you very much.

I have tried to install virtual 3D maps from the microsoft list of weekly updates. The installation took an incredibly long time and never confirmed that the installation was complete. I don’t know whether or not part of the program is installed or all of the program is installed. Nothing seems to work. How do I uninstall, please?

Gotta say… it’s strange that this has been developed, but mildly interesting at the same time. A paradox between interesting and strange…

Good idea though… I think? *-)
