Wondering if at some point when drawing a line the setting could let you display the distance in feet and such instead of 1/10s of mile.

Thanks Oak

BTW the 3d stuff is amazining r u a rocket scentist?

Another quick question. I have overlays that I would like to display on a website anyway to make the program run through a dll or something so commands could be given from a server to it, and a picture sent back to the web browser??

Do you mean when you're under 1/10 of a mile to have it display feet?  Or at all times?  Like: "5 miles, 253 feet"

I'm not sure I know what you mean about running the program through a DLL, could you give an example of such a program that runs this way?  I know people do overlays on the tiles by using TerraServer directly, that's probably easier.

Hi,

Anotherwords when I am drawing a short line it would be nice to be able to see what the distance is, at the bottom of the screen (live while drawing) in feet or meters or yards. Maybe a setting of my choosing right now I think it is in Miles.

Thanks
Oak

I agree, it would be nice to see short distances in feet.

We'll change it to read in feet when it is, say, under a quarter of a mile?  Would that work, or should it be higher, like a half mile?
