Around The World 1.0

Around The World lets you travel around the world. Every time you start your PC (or when you get bored), you get a new location with pictures, info and links to Wikipedia pages and .kmz files (for Google Earth).

You have 3 buttons. The first button toggles the display, changing the size of the gadget (which is remembered between uses) so it’s easier to place it where ever you want.

The gadget changes the featured location every time you start your computer, but the first button also enables you to change it when you get bored.

The second button is actually a link to the Wikipedia page about the featured location and the third button is a link to a .kmz file which will direct you to the place in Google Earth.

The gadget automatically connects to the internet to download the data (location pictures and info) at startup or when the display is enlarged by pressing the first button. The picture and information alternate on their own once the display is enlarged.
