Wow there's a blast from the past, is that old thing still working?

Well done for finding it, if I remember rightly it was a little buggy but mostly worked. Was there a bug where you quite often can't exit out of the script? I may be thinking of something else, it's been a few years lol.

um the onlybug i think was the images do present really big or it crashes out of nowhere butonly when you open an image maybe its to big for xbox, but works fine i looked all over mexico, here also in california but it works everywhere you can see some pretty cool things and really fast, the exit is back onthe controller, runs great with alot of skins an dmusic :)

if something dont work the web pages flicker still works when looking for location and finds the areas of house and all that stuff i found a strange thing in the ocean if i find ill take a picture of it, but im not sure what the hell it was, like a big fish but im sure its just a rock mountain lol kind of exciting in a way lol

id say its a great script for xbmc4xbox to use and have if thoses who wanna travel by internet :) while listening to some rock n roll

What do You Release?

You release nothing!
The you have nothing adapted or rewrite for xbmc4xbox !
You search and found a old script what is working!
Better you write Working (old)Google Earth Script as example!.

He's not taking credit for it Jan but simply reminding new users of it's existence.

Adding the [RELEASE] tag in description doesn't mean the poster has released it but it does mean more users are likely to read the thread if it looks like there is a new release. There has been no mention of this script before on this forum so I feel it's appropriate to add RELEASE as a lot of users won't be familiar with it.

Its not like there are mountains of forums supporting xbmc4xbox now is there!!! And yes I too can use !!! To emphasise as well!!! however it makes you look a total dick!!!
Maybe its because English is not your native language jan but you come across very argumentative, even with buzz who is pretty much doing everything he can to keep xbmc4xbox alive. Now I know your doing what you can to edit release's from main branch addons to work on the xbox but still this community is VERY small, So pissing people off should be a no go regardless of someones skill set or what they have or have not edited or released.
Its very simple if you have nothing CIVIL to say then dont bother posting.
Maybe a few of you are still young and so still wanna have a pissing contest to see who has the biggest dick but come on for fuck sake

All the best

A Release it's a Release and not a search and find what was released from others for Years.

this script wont work 100% it was made for xbmc for pc, somethings need to be updated as well so it can be both problems, but whatever works is what we are gonna get for xbmc4xbox :)
