    Have to say that this is pure class. One of the best free bits of software i've seen which is keeping me from my work.

    Link to the software.

    Can you post the software? It's free, so there's isn't an issue - it' just that the site is always busy.

    Its a 10 meg file which i've tried uploading to rapidshare, but the PrOXY server keeps timing out.

    /edit seems that it gets to about 7 meg then times out :mad:

    just checked out the Normandy beaches, excellent view.

    You might get an error about a new account because the servers are full.

    Go to help then click upgrade. Then click use trial version. That clear the bad registration data.

    thanks for the download. Can't get it to connect to - i've allowed it through ZA but it's saying it can't connect to the server. Is the server down?

    Takes a picture when it is at an angle from the target.

    I saw a better one a year or so ago used by US military it would scan from various angles and then generate a three-D map with images mapped to physical objects.
