Thanks Jerker, for your reply. I'm leaning toward "Hiballer's" method of adding GE images. In my system they cover an area of about 1 1/2K x 2.8K. It goes fairly fast but have to take frequent breaks because of the repetitive motions. My 83 YO arm gets to aching after about a half hour or so! LOL ...

OK, Got it! Thanks.

A question to those that have made use of this procedure, what is the best zoom level to use for capturing the images? Level 20 gives a fair amount of detail, but at 216 x 216 ft. I visualize several hundred images for my area.

In my other train sim program, I can access the Google Maps program with the GE API key that they supply and display the google image over the terrain of my ...

I have created the image files per direction in the ...

Thanks Jerker,
