[Geomoose-users] Something like Google Earth's Photo layer?

[Brent Fraser]

   Sounds very cool!  I take it the project was successful wrt 
user-interaction/GUI ?

   I was also thinking of a UI like StreetView (move forward/back, zoom 
etc), but that would require the imagery to be highly geo-coded, and a 
ton of software...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
