[Vision2020] google earth

[Tom Hansen]

I have been a Google earth junkie since it first came out.

As far as overlays are concerned, the fun ones are at:

For the more serious minded overlays I browse on over to:

I have tons of overlays downloaded from various sites.  NORAD even 
provided Santa's Christmas 2007 route as a Google Earth overlay.

Google Earth also allows you to develop your own overlay, which I have 
done several times with Moscow (i.e. Central Business District, etc. etc.)

After the overlay has been created, "snapshots" can be taken cnd converted 
into a multitude of formats.
