Our maps are exclusively for use with Google Earth. I wish we could offer it to you some other way. But it's a large amount of detailed information and we don't know of any other appropriate means of distribution. If we made an image that had the same accuracy as the Google Earth map, it would be unbelievably big and nearly impossible to use. The Great thing about Google Earth is the flexibility in viewing. You can zoom in and out. You can view terrain (elevation). You can look straight down or at any angle. You can view from any orientation. You can fly along the Great Wall (or any path) at any height, speed, and angle. And along with the Great Wall, you can view the surroundings. You can get exact coordinates, and share them with other mapping programs like GPS software. And so much more. It's really very, very useful.
Here are a few Web pages that might give you some ideas on how to speed up your installation of Google Earth.
