5.0 out of 5 stars
Don't go back home without one!!, March 18, 2005
This review is from: Take Home Grand Canyon in Virtual Reality (CD-ROM)
I lived in the Grand Canyon Area [near Ash Fork, AZ] for about 8 years and visited the canyon on a fairly regular basis. I have looked at many souvineer books and post cards and screen savers of the Canyon. But this is by far the best there is. There are nearly ninty 360 degree panoramas that cover Grand Canyon from Glen Canyon Dam to Diamond Creek, from top to bottom. Most of them are from places where most visitors only dream about going to.
The panoramas are linked by "hot spots". When you click on a 'hot spot' you move to another panorama somwhere along or in the canyon. They are all labeled so that you can easily find where you are on a map.
And speaking of map, the CD comes with 9 high quality topographical maps that show where each panorama was taken from. Look for the yellow stars. Also, look for the panoramas which are not linked, hidden like jewels on the maps. The maps can be printed.
Besides all the panoramas there are several illustrated side trips, a file of individual photos and 4 complete books about the Canyon, including General Wesleys Powell's book, "Exploration of the Colorado River..."
This is a must have!!!
