[meteorite-list] Google Maps

[Marc Fries]

Howdy

   Ok, this is pretty cool:

http://maps.google.com/

   Google has developed a seamless map database that cross-links to
satellite photos.  I scrolled this thing from Manacouagan crater to
Wetumpka crater, then out to Hawaii and "visited" my current home and
my mom's house on the way.  This is actually a pretty spectacular site
for locating physical landform features and cross-referencing them to a
road map.
   I can see my house from here!

Enjoy,
MDF
