Google Earth Rocks!

Want a 3D map+sat photo package? Get google earth for free!

I've located my home, school, and even tried a search for driving directions from my cousin's home to LAX airport! Although it's a little disapointing that detailed read data seems to be only avaliable for the US, which means no driving directions for Taiwan. Anyway, try to let it "play" the directions, and it will take you "flying" from one place to another, it's like riding some sort of floating device in the air :) The driving route it showed took the best route possible, avoiding all the older highways which are heavy with traffic, and the line drown is in such great detail that it reminds you where to change lanes and which ramp to take at highway intersections.

Little problems with it are that parts of the photos are very old (our school's library is still a flat plaza/not built in google earth), some parts not clear, and some other parts covered by clouds. And only the US had the most detail. And, it is heavy on your graphics card and internet grid, since it does a lot of 3D rendering and gets all photos and data from google's servers.

However, it's still a very fun tool. Satalite images were never easier to get.

I've saved the spot of our school, if you can't find NTU, just feed this file into google earth :)
