Has anybody played with this? It is completely awesome. It is a 3D map of the earth using satellite photos. You can go anywhere in the world. I have located most of the tracks used in F1 and even my local kart track. It is different from Google Maps. Go to www.google.com and look for Google Earth. Download it.....you will be surprised. Visit the Grand Canyon in the US....simply awesome.

Google has lots of amazing things. They promise you the moon . On moon.google.com, you ll find images of moon from NASA. Google say they should have complete real estate info abt moon by 2070. There is also a proof in there on why moon is indeed made of cheese if u look deep enough Wink
