Google Earth Rocks

I am totally into google earth again at the moment. I never used it much because I was on dial up.
What sparked me off again was that I happened across a cool link in my Nat Geo newletter this morning and loaded it up… a .kmz file, which opens in Google Earth. There’s been an update or two since i last was using it too - there’s some cool new things I hadn’t seen like user photo links and stuff.
Also found Google Earth Blog which I am keeping for good look later.
Spent ages on Google Earth this evening with a mate in the states (who I am visiting in a few weeks!) scouring over the terrain and stuff around his house - it’s very cool, especially when you tilt the view so it is more like a fly over than a birds eye look down. And you can turn on 3d buildings, parks and recreation areas, geographical features and shops and stuff - FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!
Check it out if you haven’t or crack it open again if you have it already - and check out the GoogleEarth showcase
ROCK!
