I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together...</p> Hi All Experts,

In spite of that, I have thoroughly enjoyed 'flying' over remote portions of Australia at 18,000'/5 500m that I thought I would never see again, now I no longer fly for a living. Go for a cruise west of Alice Springs. Magic country, especially out near the intersection of West Aust, Sth Aust & the Nth Territory - the MacDonald Ranges area around the old Giles met station. Worth every halting lurching redraw.

Hopefully Google did more than just take notice, the short while this unofficial beta was online (other than block its distribution!) like wakeup! Looks like it was ported over with the intel/mac kit from x86. Too bad we couldn’t have seen this as an official beta version, as I’m
