Fellow Google Earth fans

Hey guys!

Just thought it would be interesting if everybody that loves GoogleEarth were to post the coordinates to their favoritelocations.

I've only got one to post so far, but it's:

27 23'49.87"S, 15 21'17.42"E (You can cut & paste into the "fly to" section.)

Enjoy!

:happydanceWow! I love thatspot! That is the first time I have seen animals on GoogleEarth, I look all the time (esp. in Africa for elephants) but I haveyet to see anything. Myself though I have not found afavorite spot, I just love the whole thing.

I know what you mean...I usually never see anyanimals, either. Ya know how I found that? Iactually went about halfway around the coast of Africa, just seeingwhat I could see...and happened upon them!

They're cute, aren't they?

I love Google Earth! ...of course I can't use itvery much since I have dial-up at home. But When I go to my Grandma's,I practically spend the day zooming around the world. One of myfavorite places to go has to be the Great Wall of China. It just looksso neat from above. I also like Macchu Picchu (sp?) and someplace inthe Middle East (I forget exactly where) that has a big mosaic of acompass (or something that looks like one) in the marketplace.

I just spent a hour looking for the Great Wallof China and found nothing! Ugh... Can you let meknow what are the coordinates for it? I am so annoyed withmyself, they say you can see it from space but I thing I would have towalk into it to find it!:X I did manage to find the world'sbusiest intersection, it is Shibuya in Tokyo, Japan. I amnot sure why but I think I have a naive view of the world in general,for example I just assumed that Mongolia was nothing but nomadicherders, thats it (I thought). Then I used GE and found I wasso wrong!:embarrassed: I found the herds and all that but Ialso found towns with airports! I just love GoofleEarth! (oh, and there is a update on the Google Earth site,dated Jan. 8 (I think) 2007.)

It's a lot of fun to look at the places you aregoing to or have been to. We went to DC and also our statecapitol. Fun for Matthew to google earth it and say"Hey! I was there LOL"

Unfortunately, I don't remember what the coordinates were. Sorry!

Here's a site with coordinates andphotos. However, Google Earth also locateslandmarks. I just typed in Great Wall of China and ittook me right to a portion of it.

You can also try googling "Great Wall of China,coordinates" or some such. That's how I findlots of different stuff on GE.

Opps - Duh - I forgot to post the site . . . :foreheadsmack:

Yay...it's purrrrtyyy.

Google Earth rocks! I have a friend who lives inOhio and he's not much of a computer wizz, but I got him to set GE upand we both had a look at where the other ones lives, showed eachotherplaces we go etc etc. It was really awesome

I don't have Google Earth and don't think I can access it at work. I'll have to try from home.

Here is one of my favorite places I've visited:



It's Tucker Town!
