Google Earth Studio is fascinating too. You apply for the beta for
educational/personal use, and they approve you for access within a
business day. It is an animation tool, a lot of it will be familiar to
users of Daz 3D for example.

You can allegedly do all kinds of things - draw lines, add text, change the colors of
the pins, add annotations, etc.

? Try Google Maps.? Here's a quickie one I
made for A2RTR -

That's a good start. I wonder how hard it would be to generate that on a
regular basis? I have cities for a fair part of the nodes in HECnet. No
exact coordinates, though.
And then I don't have a current view of all links, but that could
possibly be somewhat extracted through NCP. But then, that would then
also required that you could makes lines or arches between two points...
And of course, I only have all of this under RSX. Looks like this is
using Google drive, which I think it could be a bit too complicated to
access from RSX. Someone with VMS who wants to give it a shot? :-)
