But instead of playing CDs, it plays the globe. The device knows the postion of more than a thousand satellites and enables you, by the use if a virtual 3D planetary model, to listen to an imaginary trace of a selected flying object. Like a needle on a record, the satellite follows the Earth's surface. The G-Player transforms the different elevations units course directly into sound.</P><P><IMG height=180 alt=39818905_0cfe3e0de9_m.jpg src="http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/yyy/39818905_0cfe3e0de9_m.jpg" width=240></P><P>The simple display shows the selected satellite's name, type, altitude and position over the planet (thus the latitude and longitude).</P><P>Topographic data are interpreted as audio data.
