What I'm after is a software Mars atlas that shows me (with labels) surface feature visible with an amateur telescope. I don't want something that can only be used on line. Mars Previewer II is okay as far as it goes, but I was looking for something a bit more sophisticated.

The Mars section of Deepsky software looks something like what I'm after, http://www.deepsky2000.com/screen/Mars.jpg (http://www.deepsky2000.com/screen/Mars.jpg) , but I'm loathed to buy the whole program just for this.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Google.com/mars is ok, but Damian Peach did a feature map after his amazing 2005 apparition.

Find it on here (scroll down): http://www.britastro.org/mars/maps.htm

Great, thanks. That will do nicely.
