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 Brian Regan, Librarian & Webmaster East Rochester High School East Rochester, NY 14445 Brian_Regan@er.monroe.edu bregan@rochester.rr.com www.erschools.org ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
