Announcing an underground 3D-VR map product from an independent software 
house that has caught the big corporations napping.  While everyone else 
is arguing over standards, one company has just gone ahead and produced a 
3D real-time map system that works on PCs.

30fps on a Pentium with no hardware acceleration.  Fractal texture 
mapped, displacement mapped, curved surface rendered, all mod cons.  Very 
easy to use because the control system is designed for the application, 
and features a georeferenced cursor, levitation, teleport, and navigation 
markers/waypoints like a GPS unit's.

Whole of UK and Ireland is mapped out in a 5MB download with 24000 sqr km 
for free testing.  Shareware Viewer software.  Global map database 
promised soon.
