My screen-shots above were made on a Mac. (fully up to date OSX)

Not sure what your problem could be on your MacBook, bug with the integrated graphics maybe? (I have a iMac with dedicated graphics)

The blue sky issue appears to be a graphics card limitation:

No trouble of blue sky for me. I'm running Mac OS 10.5.6 on a Macbook Pro.

Curse you MacBookPro! You have a better graphics chip than I....

I think there is a UMSF upgrade cycle at work here: I need a bigger HD for the images, a better graphics card, faster internet connections. It's a racket! Doug should get a commission. biggrin.gif

My Radeon 4870 is really showing its worth. I knew I would need it for something more than Fallout 3!

I'm not even gonna try downloading it till I get a better machine. My vintage 2003 Dells just aren't up to it.

After lo these many years, I might actually join the Mac crowd! My stepdaughter just visited & she brought her brand-new superthin Powerbook (?); sweet little machine that ran rings around my stuff, I am envious.

Superthin Powerbook? Maybe She's got a MacBook Air? The Powerbook aren't really sprint chicken anymore ;-)

Yeah, that's it; afraid I'm not up on Mac terminology. Really cool little computer, though.

Not to go totally OT, but I've got a MacBook Air, and I'd rather have one of the refreshed PowerBooks that came out recently. They look nice.

Does anyone know how to load other CTX images / HiRISE images into the landscape—the ones where you see the little orange (or red) square, but clicking on it gives you only the footprint, not the image?

And, is it possible to keep HiRISE images as the top “layer” so they’re not covered up by lower-resolution CTX images?

Here is a first draft of a Google Mars file with links to all the Opportunity images I have created over the years. smile.gif

http://www.nivnac.co.uk/mer/Martian_Vistas_Opportunity.kml

You need to have Google Earth open and in 'Mars mode' else the links will be in the Atlantic. rolleyes.gif

James that's excellent!

I'm wondering if it would be possible for other contributing image processors on UMSF to do the same?
Is it possible to have a simple set of intructions available here on how to do this?

I'm going to start using James' image database with Google Mars in some of my outreach classes.
Kids will love the interaction!

You could go one step further and implement them as KML PhotoOverlays, just like the official ones (with the floating cylinders) smile.gif
