AGT97087: GeoBoy. 09.04.97 Von Gert HABACH Anbei die Beschreibung und URL fuer einen interessanten Unterrichtsbehelf . Aus CNET SHAREWARE dispatch. http://www.shareware.com/ FOLLOW THAT PACKET GeoBoy is a useful and innovative tool that traces a specific URL request along its Internet route, generating host locations and plotting them onto a map of the Earth. The program resolves geographical locations from a series of cache files which can be easily updated and customized. Displaying the routes on either a rotating 3D globe or a Mercator projection (flat) map, GeoBoy enables you to locate Internet delays and traffic congestion along the way. The resulting data can be saved and restored at a later time, and the maps can be rotated and manipulated with simple mouse movements. This unique software also incorporates geographical features such as cities, rivers, and political boundaries, adding a little realistic depth, as well as something to look at on your trip around the world.
