This dialog box is displayed when the 'Fetch terraserver-usa.com' is choosen from the file menu, or the 'Fetch terraserver-usa.com from here' popup menu option is choosen in the context menu of the main window. In the latter case, the location is the one under the mouse when choosing the option. Otherwise, this is the last location entered.

It allows one to connect to the server to get the aerial image centered at the location entered in the first line. The radius is the minimum distance between the center and an edge of the image, and can be a bit more due to the fact that image elements are 200x200 pixel square. Initially, the vertical 'radius' ( right field ) is set with the same value that is entered in the horizontal one. It is possible to change it to retrieve a non squared image. | It allows one to connect to the server to get the aerial image centered at the location entered in the first line.
