You didn't leave it running when you installed? $$$$e, sorry.
There's a lot of 3D rendering in it, its an aerial photo map of the world but it comes online as you need it.

Not to worry. The program won't even start now. Saying there is a bad
memory sector or something like that. Tried reinstalling, which didn't
work.
Not to worry about FM, I'll have to do it again tomorrow night!

The British ones are not high res yet, except for London. You can get
Buckingham Palace say, then tilt the picture to give a 3D view, add
buildings, restaurants, road names, stations, train lines, which
are overlaid on the photo's. etc.
Every American city is superb.
Try some of these :
