Google Earth is a program that incorporates satellite images to show you just about whatever you want to see on the planet Earth. It is absolutely amazing. I can actually see my car in my driveway! Don't worry, the images are not detailed enough to see people and they aren't the most up-to-date, but it is still a really cool program.
Whether you are considering buying a house in a new neighborhood, looking for a place to eat, driving directions, walking directions, distances, coordinates, etc., etc., Google Earth is a must try. The coolest thing is the ability to change perspectives. You can zoom into a tower, then rotate the camera around to see what the view from that tower looks like. Ok, enough, go ahead, download it and take a look for yourself. You won't regret it! And for your MAC folks, Google Earth is also now available for you too! http://earth.google.com/
