Google earth is good-if you live in europe or usa. Living down here in NZ, we find it hard to even find towns with google earth. I was searching google one day (i love google) and i came across a programme called WorldWind(made by NASA). It seems to be a much better option than google earth because it has high detail images of newzealand and equally as good as google earth for the rest of the world.
hmmmm,interesting.I'll check it out.
I will have to play with it a bit more as the resolution is very poor compared to Googlearth
