Google Earth.. Damn COOL!

Just discovered Google Earth and it's so damn cool.. You can pin-point the exact location of your house! I've even found the location of my mom's old house in California..


Sadly, the satelite pictures of Maui are of low resolution, so i'm unable to find her current home.

It's fascinating to be able to see so much from these images. What i find really ironic is that all of our armed forces's satelite maps have ALL military bases and related sites 'blacked out'. But here on Google Earth, everything can be seen! The following is of C130s parked at Payar Lebar Air Base. This is something you would NEVER see on our army's satelite maps!



Another 'cool' feature of Google Earth is that you can pan it at a certain angle so that when you're scrolling along Singapore's landscape for example, it seems as if you are flying. I often fantasize about being able to fly (i guess that's why i love taking long flights) and this feature makes it seem all the more surreal.
