This program has been out for a while but I only found out about it this week and I haven't been able to get of it. Its just so much fun, especially for a geographical nerd like me. It basically allows you to have a look at any part of the planet as though you had control of a satellite.
Its free and heaps of fun trying to find your street or famous locations and the quality in some places is just amazing.
Its great to have a look at the United States cause extra features are available that dont work in other countries like "buildings" which gives you a 3D veiw of the cities like Manhattan.
I was looking for the prison in Guant�namo Bay but couldn't locate it exactly. Though I did find the bay itself. I recommend that everyone have a go at this, you can download it here .
If you have already had a go at this what did you think?
