This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I think this is on topic, since most of us have to find new addresses = all the time. But it's also great fun: http://earth.google.com It needs a connection faster than dialup, because the server is doing = much of the heavy lifting here. Google has combined the satellite pictures it bought from Keyhole along = with terrain elevations and other mapping data to give you a 3D view of = the entire globe that you can fly around from different heights and = angles! Instead of a straight down view, you can tilt the map and view = it from any angle. The photos are textured over the terrain data, so it = looks very close to a plane's-eye view (OK, so the bridges droop into = the valleys...). You can turn on different data layers, such as street = names, hotels, and restaurants. The basic version is free for personal use. The commercial version is = $400, but lets you upload a file of addresses to be mapped, lets you = print out in high resolution, upload your data from your GPS unit, and = so on. (By the way, I highly recommend Garmin's GPSMAP 60C. See = garmin.com.) Every once in a while, I have trouble interpreting a map. This = crystallizes it for me. --Cy Shuster-- Bluefield, WV ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
