Good morning -
the folks at Google have done it again....  Check out
Google Earth at http://earth.google.com/ .  There is a
downloadable version of the program that I'm presently
installing on all my student machines.

This takes satellite maps to a whole new level, with
the ability to search a location, see it in incredible
detail (I could distinguish between the red and maroon
Subarus sitting in my driveway at home...), add road
labels, 3D buildings in major cities, tons of other
details, even adjust the angle of view.  When you
change locations, it zooms out to globe view & zooms
back in. Really incredible stuff.  I just want to play
with it all day.  I can't wait to show it to our
teachers & kids.

Enjoy,
BR
