UPDATE:
Terraserver have changed their domain and also now appear to use an encrypted link to the tiles. Terraserver maps no longer will load. We do not know at this stage but are looking into whether continued support is possible.
Suggested work around is to use Internet Maps.
-------------------------------------------------------
This page describes how to use the USA Terraserver Maps with OziExplorer.
The use of Terraserver Maps within OziExplorer can be considered experimental at this stage.
You need an internet connection to use USA Terraserver Maps. The map image tiles are downloaded in real time from the internet and stored in a file cache.
Tiles which have already been cached can be used when offline.
You also need to download the USA Terraserver.map file (see below).
These links provide information about the Terraserver maps.
