(and true the dynamic navigation grid is tad bit screen border only sensitive whith the mouse, while much comfortable with keyboard arrows, weeeeee heeeeeeee weee heeeeee, lot of pop up tool tips and all <3 )

may be some people would appreciate a small full station transparent overlay in a corner with a point location of the current 360 photo

What laptops are those? They look a little thick...

Whatever was the fashion in 2000s ? I see Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad. Those are office standard I assume.

 

On the thing itself : the navigation is a bit dodgy IMO. It cheats to go up/down.

I noticed that what they did is they actually took those pictures, and had them be "Street View" locations on Earth, inside the NASA Johnson building where they keep the ISS mockup modules.

Uhhhh.... I believe there's an emoji for that!:confused: It's like trying to use a GPS to get through a vacation to London- from America.

It seems Google Maps is not designed for places that aren't on planets.

I think they also just added the option to look at planets, too.

All those options were released at the same time. I would like it if the new planet maps had as much functionality as those in Google Earth, but they are pretty cool nonetheless.

Actually, we only have surface views of a few of the planets/moon, but it would be cool to go to the areas where we have surface views of.
