How does this free-program-thing work? The RockWorks 16 demo (link below) works for 2 weeks with all program Levels (1-5) enabled. Full functionality. Everything in the program.

When the trial period expires, the EarthApps (Level 1) are still available for you to use. Just start up RockWorks16 and click the Continue to EarthApps button. If you purchase a license for a higher Level (2-5), we issue a code activating those programs.

You can create a variety of different flyovers in the RockWorks16 EarthApps program. The easiest of all are the "clipboard" flyovers. You just copy a point or path in Google Earth, and RockWorks can quickly make a circular flight around the copied point, or a forward-looking flight along the copied path. Here's how they work:

Point-based, circular flyover: Open Google Earth and insert a placemark where you want the center of your flyover to be. Right-click on that point in the Places pane to the left, and choose Copy. Now, go to RockWorks16 and click on the EarthApps program tab. Select the Flyover | Clipboard -> Circular Flyover menu option. Enter the time, altitude, tilt, and radius, click Process, and voila! RockWorks will create a flyover that circles that point.

Path-based, forward-looking flyover: Open Google Earth and draw a path where you want the flyover to travel. Right-click on the path in the Places pane to the left, and choose Copy. Go to RockWorks16's EarthApps program tab and click Flyover | Clipboard -> Forward-Looking Flyover. Enter time, altitude, tilt, and smoothing, and click Process. RockWorks will create a flyover along that path.
