Google Earth

Does anyone use it? If you do, you've looked up your address to see if your car (or bicycle) is there...admit it Wink

. Yeah, I've got a decent GPS but sometimes I like to use the "fly to" feature to try and familiarize myself with the route before hand.

Yeah, I have used it. And yes, I have looked up my place.

Yup and yup Smile

My friend looked up her address and saw her son washing his car on the driveway.

I have never used it. Not quite sure how it works.

Chris, it's similar to the basic map feature on the Google page but with a few more bells and whistles. One of which is the ability to "fly" between point A and point B. Just as with Mapquest and GPS, nothing is fool proof but sometimes I like to see the general route ahead of time if I don't know where I'm going. It's free to download.
