How I fared: I could only persuade Yahoo maps to offer to get me from A to B, not show me pictures of A. Mapquest zoomed in on it beautifully, but had no pictures. Two different "maps", and I could turn the labels off under the aerial view, but no pictures. I presume that they photographed the USA first. But thanks for the lateral thinking, Stephen. It might have worked!! I shall have to give up for the moment. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
