You're right, John, it's not as easy to use. But the changes to Map-A-Planet are nothing short of catastrophic. You have to register ( a real nuisance if I want a class full of students to use it), and when I specify a data set, lat-long boundaries and resolution, I don't get to see the image - it can only be obtained via FTP, after waiting an hour or two for an email, which makes iterative modification of the boundaries unbelievably inefficient. I can't believe they would change such a powerful tool into something so clumsy. And yes, I did tell them.
