Hi Kevin,What a great use of web technology! I'm just looking at the ad and thinking that creating something similar may not be that difficult, (notice I said "may"), using Google Earth and Camtasia Studio, (the screen capture video tool). I think I'll have a go and see. If it works I'll post it on my blog and let you know.
Please do… be interesting to see if a travel company without – excuse my presumption – the resources of, say, BA can replicate the idea…Cheers for the post.km - ed
