The Web Page
There is a dedicated web site for Drive Across the Americas
at www.driveacross.net. Many of the features offered are only available when
TM
you play the game. There are hotlinks embedded in the game in every city. These links will take you to the page for that city. To use these links
make sure that you have an account with an Internet Service Provider and that your computer is connected to the Internet.
When you use a link the PC will minimize Drive Across and launch your internet browser. Before it does this, you will be asked if you want
to save your game. When you have finished browsing quit the explorer and return to the game by clicking on the Drive Across the Americas
TM
button in the Windows Task Bar.
The city pages contain links to other web pages with more information about the city and other general learning pages. The 3D city pages also
have Internet postcards for you to send to friends. The links are updated from our server to ensure that they are always up to date and suitable
for young ages. Our web site provides a safe Internet environment that ensures young people will not encounter any unsuitable
material.
For best results we recommend using Internet Explorer 4.0 or above or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or above.
