See things you&#8217;ve never seen?  If so I&#8217;ve got the application for you.  It used to be called Keyhole but Google bought them and now it&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/earth.google.com\/\">Google Earth<\/a>.  It&#8217;s a program that reads images from a database of satellite photos and creates a map of the earth.  If you&#8217;ve used <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/\">maps.google.com <\/a>you might have seen the image quality.  This goes one better and actually lets you &#8220;fly&#8221; around the globe allowing you to zoom in wherever you want.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using the subscription version for about 6 months but now it&#8217;s free.  For those who had a subscription we get Google Earth Plus which adds the ability to print in higher res and my favorite, connect to a GPS receiver.  You can download all the waypoints, routes, and tracklogs from any Garmin or Magellen receiver.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend it.  If you&#8217;re like me you&#8217;ll spend hours the first few days looking at all the places you&#8217;ve lived, visited, or want to visit.<\/p>\n<p>Note:(6\/29 &#8211; 5:15pm) Google must have gotten a REALLY BIG response to this because as of this afternoon the download is on hold.  They say it will be available again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you like to fly around the world? See things you&#8217;ve never seen?
