A Window To The World

Simple Demonstration of the window special function. This is very useful for displaying more interactive media such as panoramic photographs within the context of the map. It really brings the map to life!

Instructions on how to use the window special function can be found in the forum and on the blog.

Many thanks to Dr Andrew Hudson-Smith who writes the blog, Digitally Distributed Environments, for letting me tag along while he took some panoramic photos of San Francisco.
