OT: Google Earth

[Neville]

Just heard about this program on another board. It allows the user to watch satellite images of almost anywhere on Earth. Some zones appear pixelated, but many others are quite visible. The program also comes with some locations already signaled for the curious traveller, like Niagara Falls or The Grand Canyon.

You can get the program for free (legally, of course) at www.softonic.com, among other places.

A curious note: My hometown is at coordinates 41º 37' 11.88'' N - 0º 37' 48'' E.

Sounds interesting just don't go nude sunbathing, big brother is watching!

Funny you mention that! Although my hometown is in low-res, the beach at my favourite coast village (at  41º 03'  53'' N and 1º 03' 58'' E, in case you wonder) is visible in high-res. I wonder if the people who created this spend much time watching their particular baywatch series...
