What the users say about EZ-Landmark

"Brilliant software", R.T. of U.K. via Internet

"It is truly incredible. I didn't appreciate how VERY much it would add to the flight sim experience. We've all seen the Abacus screen captures showing how buildings in Chicago, Washington, New York, etc., are specifically named and pin-pointed as you fly by them. For me, however, the greatest delight from this program came when I flew over the rural areas of West Virginia, where I live. Believe me, Flight Sim has no detailed scenery for these areas. Yet, amazingly, the E-Z Landmark program told me that I was flying over places like Big Otter, West Virginia, and Mud Flap, Kentucky. You can pick an interstate and fly directly over it. You see text on your screen announcing each new hole-in-the-wall town you're approaching, just like you're driving down some rural highway. It even works overseas.", D.M. via Internet

"I will also take every opportunity to tell what a great little program you've made....Your EZ-Landmark program has brought more pleasure than any add-on yet. Thank you!', M.A. from FL via Internet

"I really enjoy EZ-VFR and this ought to be a real trip. Great thinking guys", J.L. from GA via Internet

"...the idea behind EZ-Landmark is excellent", N.E. via Internet

"Thanks for creating such a wonderful and innovative product!", S.B. via Internet

"Congratulations for your excellent EZ-Landmark", A.D. via Internet

"What a cool concept!", M.H. via Internet

"I'm more into the scenery than I am the planes, and this little GEM has changed the whole thing for me. Like going from mono to stereo - you get to listen to everything again for the improvment. Thanks for the hard work.", L.F. of Seattle.

What is that down there?

This interesting "easter egg" sits in the middle of Washington, D.C.! Thanks to EZ-Landmark we learn that it's the Smithonian Castle is less than a mile away from our aircraft at a bearing of 76 degrees

 

Finding the Skyscrapers is easy

In many cities, the skyscrapers are the buildings that stand out the most.

When flying in Berlin, Paris or New York City you can spot them from miles away. For easier identification the name is displayed at the proper elevation.

But where is Carnegie Hall?

It's around here somewhere. In an area such as NYC, there are many prominent sites. EZ-Landmark's database has nearly 1000 popular sites which it can identify so that you can pick them out from a crowded scenery.

You can extend the intelligence of EZ-Landmark by adding new entries to the database.
