I have read about the Midnight Mars Viewer but I work on ancient computers here and it could not possibly fit on any of the tiny hard drives not to mention extreme RAM deficiency. I am looking for a neat LITTLE thingy that would show me a map of Mars with certain degree of interactivity (daylight, landing sites etc. would be nice). And yes, I know these guys:
http://www.merid.cam.org/meridian/index.html http://skyandtelescope.com/resources/softw...ticle_328_2.asp http://pds-rings.seti.org/tools/viewer2_mar.html So, any nice little thingy links anyone? Regards, Karol P. -------------------- |

A few months ago I stumbled upon a website where you could download a program that permits you to navigate around Mars (kind of what Google Earth does) using actual data from Mars. There was a video showing a zoom into Victoria crater and moving around the crater in a 3D view. Unfortunately, I didn't bookmark the site, and I can't find it anymore. The software was called something like "Malathea" or "Galathea". I think it was developed by a group in a university. Any of you know anything about that?
Thanks for any help. |

That would be Magrathea: http://www.magrathea-engine.org/v2/index.php?lang=en -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
