Jack where have you been hiding? :-) I posted a the following PESO last year, it's a Quicktime VR MOV file, if you have a relatively recent Apple Quicktime version loaded you should be able to interact with it. Try it on the system on which you have Google Earth loaded and go looking for the "hot-spot" http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/pano084.mov (~880kB) Tech: *ist D, ISO200, 1/800s A16/2.8 @ f8 (8 landscape shots) Thumbnail images stitched using Hugin/Enblend and converted to QTVR using Pano2QTVR.
