I have been playing around with a program called USAPhotoMaps, which
downloads map 'tiles' from TerraServer, so you can see either the
Satellite/Aerial photos or the USGS topographical map. It will overlay
tracks from most GPS units. The program will download tiles in multiple
resolutions, so you can get very detailed when you zoom in. It's very cool
to see my track going dead center up the runway on an aerial photo of my
home airport (at least it starts out dead center!)

Great, let me know when you get the chance. I would like to see more
aviation stuff, the airports are there (on mapsource), but nothing on
airspace.

No screenshots, but I'll see if I can put a .pdf file or two on
my web page. Might be a bit as we're considering to change ISPs.

The only thing I would say is "different" (better depends on goals)
is that instead of a map of the US, I'm using aviation charts. So
I can see how my track relates to airspace, airports etc (if using
VFR sectional) or how my track relates to the instrument approach
I'm flying, which was my personal motivation.

If you have the capability to use aviation charts in Mapsource then
I would say it's pretty much the same thing.

Cheers,
