> I simply started up Guide three times, all from the same directory
>and install, creating three different Guide windows. I resized them
>to fit next to one another, and zoomed in Mars in each case:
>once for a very wide-field view, once for a north-up view showing
>the moons, and once for an inverted "closeup" using the Schiaparelli
>map. (Note the three instances of Guide shown on the toolbar.) I
>made a few other customizations in each window, such as chopping
>out irrelevant or redundant legend text and removing toolbars, switching
>back and forth between them. Then I hit the Print Screen key and
>pasted the result into PaintShop Pro.

> Ideally, the three could communicate with one another so that
>the wide-field would have a rectangle indicating the intermediate
>field, and that one would have a rectangle indicating the closeup
>field. Or it might be possible to "synch" them so that recentering
>one would recenter the others. Not having engineered that in from
>the beginning, I doubt it would be very feasible right now.

>ability to set certain parameters, such as inversion, on a level
>by level basis, rather than a global one. That _could_ get very
>confusing, when you zoom in one level and everything suddenly
>turns upside down. Most of the "level customization" people want
>to do is handled by things such as being able to specify that
>object class X is shown between thus-and-such fields of view.
>But at least right now, you can't tell Guide to always invert
>the field of view in a particular way when going past a particular
>zoom level.
