Geobrowse is malfunctioning at the moment.  New searches (if you try to add a new location either by typing a name or dropping a PIN on the map) are not recognized. If you have existing search locations they are operable.   

The development team is trying to determine if this is a software issue or a problem with the Web interface.  We will keep you informed on progress.

Many of you (and many of us) have reported that not having the ability to rotate landscape pages, photos, or maps reduces the enjoyment level of The Complete National Geographic: 120 Years.  Our initial information indicated that this had to do with copyright issues; however, the development team informed us last week that, indeed, rotation functionality will be available in a forthcoming update. 

We do not have a date for this yet, but will post it here when we have it. 

In the meantime -- not that this is an optimal solution at all -- many users are taking screen shots (using various software products) of content they want to rotate, copy or print. 

Good News for Mac Users:

As promised the development team has been working hard to release the copy to hard-drive update and can provide it to Mac users now (except for those systems with Snow Leopard).

(The team is still working on the PC version of copy to hard drive, so stay tuned here for news on its availability.)

Here is the link to the zip file for the full installer for Mac users (remember, this update is NOT for systems using Snow Leopard):

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/updates/products/cng120/CNG_DVD_Installer_RC7.zip

Please read through these instructions prior to running the installer:

• Close the CNG application if it is currently running
  

• Download the installer from the link provided above

• Run the application from any folder. It does not need to be installed into any special place

• Insert Disc 1 once the application prompts you to do so

• Wait for indication that the DVD is being copied. You should see indicators of "percentage complete" or an increase in the number of megabytes copied. Please note:  It can take 30-90 seconds for OSX to start allowing the full-content installer to read from a DVD.  One the copying starts copy throughput will take between 1-6 MB/second

• Each disc takes between 30-45 minutes to copy

• Swap discs when prompted

• Continue until you've copied all six DVDs
