What a great resource!  Besides, I got started in 3d years ago when the only place to be was on a list like this one, so there's definitely a nice oldskool kind of comfort level that you just don't seem to get on a web forum.

Since there will not be an internet or wifi connection allowed, it rules out any connection to Google maps and related data.   I'm not sure how to begin to approach a self contained version.
