Flightgear is a great, though resource hawging, flight simulator. Terraync will enable it to download scenery as you fly. Map will convert this scenery to maps and Atlas will show you where your are (note that their site is quite specifitic--these maps are for entertainment purposes only and it is illegal to really fly by them!).
A script from their site, duly modifiied, lets one sync fight and scenery, downloading as need be. Great stuff on a fast connection. I made another version of the script to similarly run the Atlas and plane position is tracked on those nice maps. Both use an "atlas" protocal udp on a port number. Does nayone know how to run BOTH at once downloading scenery, producing its map and using the map on the fly [SIC] ?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
