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?

Some great work has been done with the older version here.

Lyford:

I've had lots of fun in the past with both VistaPro and Terragen and look forward to TG2!

Here's a quick play with one of Luc Bianco's images of a (Terrestrial) icy landscape (the original is at: http://lucbianco.free.fr/3D/TGD12.jpg):
