Google Maps - take a look

[Bzzliteyr]

Another fun site to hang out on is this one: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/ubbthreads.php/Cat/0  it is chock full of KML files that you can set to "open" as you click them and they will take you right to many places of interest.  They have sections on military, current events, people and cultures all with placemarks.

Where do we copy adn paste coordinates into??

http://earth.google.com/

 

[CdnArtyWife]

Once you have downloaded and launched Google Earth you can paste the coordinates into the search bar in the top left of the program screen.

I will refrain from further comments as to simplicity of use of the program.

Good Luck! ;D

This also works.
You can switch from map to satellite.

I've actually found google maps to be of lower quality as well as much harder to use.

Now that I have this program I doubt I would ever go back to www.maps.google.com

Download Google Earth from Here:

http://earth.google.com/

Copy and paste the co-ordinates gine into the "search" area that shows up and....you'll fly right there. 

 

[atticus]

And is this Dwyer Hill?

I think so - it's at the junction of RR3 and RR10 which is where the Dwyer Hill base is.

Edit:

I noticed something wierd - find Pyongyang, North Korea and look at the streets - there are practically no cars.

Could be because nobody there can afford a car!
