Hi,

This has absolutely nothing to do with modelling, but I am sure that someone could be able to help me out.

There is a feature out there that is called Guest map en can be used as a variant to the classical guestbook.

I am looking for something as that but for offline purposes, it is not intended as a guestbook but more for getting a overview of off the construction sites my company is working at.

I don’t need the world either, only BENELUX (Europe), this is simply to be able to project it on the big screen during meetings so are construction site managers know where we are working and that we could organize transports better.

You could compare is like those big maps with pushpins on them you see in a lot of offices but I would like to have it on my computer

If anybody has a tip, thanks

Oh, if possible freeware

Thanx

It contains the entire world but Google Earth should work for what you want.

It’s a free program and you can place markers on it.
It will also show you the road names and even show buildings at certain places.

Don’t have a link to it but you should find it quickly by doing a google search.
